    hwrng: geode - Revert managed API changes · 8c75704e
    Prarit Bhargava authored
    After commit e9afc746 ("hwrng: geode - Use linux/io.h instead of
    asm/io.h") the geode-rng driver uses devres with pci_dev->dev to keep
    track of resources, but does not actually register a PCI driver.  This
    results in the following issues:
    
    1.  The driver leaks memory because the driver does not attach to a
    device.  The driver only uses the PCI device as a reference.   devm_*()
    functions will release resources on driver detach, which the geode-rng
    driver will never do.  As a result,
    
    2.  The driver cannot be reloaded because there is always a use of the
    ioport and region after the first load of the driver.
