What about:
/* There are 4 keys. */
#define SID_KEYS 4
/* Each key is 4 byte long (32-bit). */
#define SID_SIZE (SID_KEYS * 4)

OK. If it's not to be read too often then it's fine.

Well, single exit points makes sense (and is much nicer) when you have
something to do before exiting, take error paths as an example. But jumping
just to return makes no sense, because when reading the code you must scroll
down to the label to check what actually happens.

When you call platform_get_resource(), it looks at platform_device you pass to
it and takes all resources from an array that is generated early at bootup (in
case when DT is available). It will return an error pointer if there is no
resource satisfying your requirements in this array.
In addition devm_ioremap_resource() checks the resource pointer, so if it's an
error pointer it will print a message and return an error as well.

I mean, the loop fills the array with SID_SIZE ints, each with 3 zero bytes and
1 byte of actual data, so you get:
S0 0x00 0x00 0x00 S1 0x00 0x00 0x00 ... S15 0x00 0x00 0x00
but by calling add_device_randomness() with SID_SIZE as size argument, you add
only 16 first bytes of data from the array:
S0 0x00 0x00 0x00 S1 0x00 0x00 0x00 ... S3 0x00 0x00 0x00
(little endianness assumed)
