[ Upstream commit 522a242a18adc5c63a24836715dbeec4dc3faee1 ]

Although unlikely, devm_pm_runtime_enable() call might fail, so handle
the return value.

<title>hwrng: rockchip - add support for RK3576's RNG</title>

<id>8f66ccbd8f67ab41b29f54f383f8a8516be7696c</id>
<content type='text'>
The Rockchip RK3576 SoC uses a new hardware random number generator IP.
It's also used on the Rockchip RK3562 and the Rockchip RK3528.

It has several modes of operation and self-checking features that are
not implemented here. For starters, it has a DRNG output, which is an
AES-CTR pseudo-random number generator that can be reseeded from the
true entropy regularly.

However, it also allows for access of the true entropy generator
directly. This entropy is generated from an oscillator.

There are several configuration registers which we don't touch here. The
oscillator can be switched between a "CRO" and "STR" oscillator, and the
length of the oscillator can be configured.

The hardware also supports some automatic continuous entropy quality
checking, which is also not implemented in this driver for the time
being.

The output as-is has been deemed sufficient to be useful:

  rngtest: starting FIPS tests...
  rngtest: bits received from input: 20000032
  rngtest: FIPS 140-2 successes: 997
  rngtest: FIPS 140-2 failures: 3

  rngtest: Program run time: 23507723 microseconds

Stretching the entropy can then be left up to Linux's actual entropy
pool.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

The RK3588 SoC includes several TRNGs, one part of the Crypto IP block,
and the other one (referred to as "trngv1") as a standalone new IP.

Add support for this new standalone TRNG to the driver by both
generalising it to support multiple different rockchip RNGs and then
implementing the required functionality for the new hardware.

This work was partly based on the downstream vendor driver by Rockchip's
Lin Jinhan, which is why they are listed as a Co-author.

While the hardware does support notifying the CPU with an IRQ when the
random data is ready, I've discovered while implementing the code to use
this interrupt that this results in significantly slower throughput of
the TRNG even when under heavy CPU load. I assume this is because with
only 32 bytes of data per invocation, the overhead of reinitialising a
completion, enabling the interrupt, sleeping and then triggering the
completion in the IRQ handler is way more expensive than busylooping.

Speaking of busylooping, the poll interval for reading the ISTAT is an
atomic read with a delay of 0. In my testing, I've found that this gives
us the largest throughput, and it appears the random data is ready
pretty much the moment we begin polling, as increasing the poll delay
leads to a drop in throughput significant enough to not just be due to
the poll interval missing the ideal timing by a microsecond or two.

According to downstream, the IP should take 1024 clock cycles to
generate 56 bits of random data, which at 150MHz should work out to
6.8us. I did not test whether the data really does take 256/56*6.8us
to arrive, though changing the readl to a __raw_readl makes no
difference in throughput, and this data does pass the rngtest FIPS
checks, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on but I presume it's got
something to do with the AHB bus speed and the memory barriers that
mainline's readl/writel functions insert.

The only other current SoC that uses this new IP is the Rockchip RV1106,
but that SoC does not have mainline support as of the time of writing,
so we make no effort to declare it as supported for now.
