[PATCH V2 1/2] arm nomadik: add hardware RNG driver

From: Alessandro Rubini <rubini at unipv.it>

The hardware random number generator by ST is used in both the Nomadik
8815 SoC and the U8500. It returns 16 bits every 400ns with automatic
delay if a read is issued too early. It depends on PLAT_NOMADIK.

This V2 uses the new interface, so it depends on this patch from
cryptodev-2.6.git:
   commit 9996508b3353063f2d6c48c1a28a84543d72d70b
   Author: Ian Molton <ian.molton at collabora.co.uk>
   Date:   Tue Dec 1 14:47:32 2009 +0800

With dd I can fetch 3 MB/s of random data where /dev/urandom gives
0.4 M/s and /dev/zero gives 60 MB/s.
