Some hardware RNGs provide a single register for obtaining random data. Instead of signaling when new data is available, the reader must wait a fixed amount of time between reads for new data to be generated. timeriomem_rng implements this scheme with the period specified in platform data or device tree. While the period is specified in microseconds, the implementation used a standard timer which has a minimum delay of 1 jiffie and caused a significant bottleneck for devices that can update at 1us. By switching to an hrtimer, 1us periods now only delay at most 2us per read. Signed-off-by: Rick Altherr <raltherr@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
