Daniel Mack 2a4bfd023f hwrng: timeriomem - relax check on memory resource size
The timeriomem_rng driver only accesses the first 4 bytes of the given
memory area and currently, it also forces that memory resource to be
exactly 4 bytes in size.

This, however, is problematic when used with device-trees that are
generated from things like FPGA toolchains, where the minimum size
of an exposed memory block may be something like 4k.

Hence, let's only check for what's needed for the driver to operate
properly; namely that we have enough memory available to read the
random data from.

HWRNG support for the timeriomem_rng driver
Required properties:
- compatible : "timeriomem_rng"
- reg : base address to sample from
- period : wait time in microseconds to use between samples
Optional properties:
- quality : estimated number of bits of true entropy per 1024 bits read from the
rng. Defaults to zero which causes the kernel's default quality to
be used instead. Note that the default quality is usually zero
which disables using this rng to automatically fill the kernel's
entropy pool.
N.B. currently 'reg' must be at least four bytes wide and 32-bit aligned
Example:
hwrng@44 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
compatible = "timeriomem_rng";
reg = <0x44 0x04>;
period = <1000000>;
};
