I do have driver for a PRNG that I was planning to post in sometime.
Upon seeing this thread I think the code has to be changed.

I completely agree with Corentin, adding /dev/prng or /dev/hw_prng
will make it easier to move existing code. It can be made explicit
that using new device will provide only pseudo random number.

Thanks,
