Jason A. Donenfeld 8875028265 powerpc/powernv: delay rng platform device creation until later in boot 
The platform device for the rng must be created much later in boot.
Otherwise it tries to connect to a parent that doesn't yet exist,
resulting in this splat:

  [    0.000478] kobject: '(null)' ((____ptrval____)): is not initialized, yet kobject_get() is being called.
  [    0.002925] [c000000002a0fb30] [c00000000073b0bc] kobject_get+0x8c/0x100 (unreliable)

This patch fixes the issue by doing the platform device creation inside
of machine_subsys_initcall.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
