Most hw_random devices return entropy which is assumed to be of full
quality, but driver authors don't bother setting the quality knob. Some
hw_random devices return less than full quality entropy, and then driver
authors set the quality knob. Therefore, the entropy crediting should be
opt-out rather than opt-in per-driver, to reflect the actual reality on
the ground.
For example, the two Raspberry Pi RNG drivers produce full entropy
randomness, and both EDK2 and U-Boot's drivers for these treat them as
such. The result is that EFI then uses these numbers and passes the to
Linux, and Linux credits them as boot, thereby initializing the RNG.
Yet, in Linux, the quality knob was never set to anything, and so on the
chance that Linux is booted without EFI, nothing is ever credited.
That's annoying.
The same pattern appears to repeat itself throughout various drivers. In
fact, very very few drivers have bothered setting quality=1024.
Looking at the git history of existing drivers and corresponding mailing
list discussion, this conclusion tracks. There's been a decent amount of
discussion about drivers that set quality < 1024 -- somebody read and
interepreted a datasheet, or made some back of the envelope calculation
somehow. But there's been very little, if any, discussion about most
drivers where the quality is just set to 1024 or unset (or set to 1000
when the authors misunderstood the API and assumed it was base-10 rather
than base-2); in both cases the intent was fairly clear of, "this is a
hardware random device; it's fine."
So let's invert this logic. A hw_random struct's quality knob now
controls the maximum quality a driver can produce, or 0 to specify 1024.
Then, the module-wide switch called "default_quality" is changed to
represent the maximum quality of any driver. By default it's 1024, and
the quality of any particular driver is then given by:
min(default_quality, rng->quality ?: 1024);
This way, the user can still turn this off for weird reasons (and we can
replace whatever driver-specific disabling hacks existed in the past),
yet we get proper crediting for relevant RNGs.

The value returned by an i2c driver's remove function is mostly ignored.
(Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero that the
error is ignored.)
So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This
way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to
the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly.
There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to
return 0 before.

Flushing system-wide workqueues is dangerous and will be forbidden.
Replace system_wq with local atmel_wq.
If CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_ATMEL_{I2C,ECC,SHA204A}=y, the ordering in Makefile
guarantees that module_init() for atmel-i2c runs before module_init()
for atmel-ecc and atmel-sha204a runs.

Returning an error value in an i2c remove callback results in an error
message being emitted by the i2c core, but otherwise it doesn't make a
difference. The device goes away anyhow and the devm cleanups are
called.
As atmel_sha204a_remove already emits an error message ant the additional
error message by the i2c core doesn't add any useful information, change
the return value to zero to suppress this error message.
Note that after atmel_sha204a_remove() returns *i2c_priv is freed, so there
is trouble ahead because atmel_sha204a_rng_done() might be called after
that freeing. So make the error message a bit more frightening.

ATSHA204 is predecessor of ATSHA204A which supports less features and some
of them are slightly different.
Introduce a new compatible string for ATSHA204 cryptochip "atmel,atsha204".
Current version of Linux kernel driver atmel-sha204a.c implements only hw
random number generator which is same in both ATSHA204 and ATSHA204A
cryptochips. So driver already supports also ATSHA204 hw generator, so just
simply extends list of compatible strings.

The Linaro/96boards Secure96 mezzanine contains (among other things)
an Atmel SHA204A symmetric crypto processor. This chip implements a
number of different functionalities, but one that is highly useful
for many different 96boards platforms is the random number generator.
So let's implement a driver for the SHA204A, and for the time being,
implement support for the random number generator only.
