Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time.  This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver.  If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.

This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

Request_region should be used with release_region, not release_resource.

The local variable mem, storing the result of request_mem_region, is
dropped and instead the pointer res is stored in the drvdata field of the
platform device.  This information is retrieved in omap_rng_remove to
release the region.  The drvdata field is not used elsewhere.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression x,E;
@@
(
*x = request_region(...)
|
*x = request_mem_region(...)
)

It has been reported that on at least one Nano CPU the xstore
instruction will write as many as 16 bytes of data to the output
buffer.

This causes memory corruption as we use rng-&gt;priv which is only
4-8 bytes long.

This patch fixes this by using an intermediate buffer on the stack
with at least 16 bytes and aligned to a 16-byte boundary.

The problem was observed on the following processor:
