hwrng: Add Arm SMCCC TRNG based driver
The "Arm True Random Number Generator Firmware Interface"[1] provides an SMCCC based interface to a true hardware random number generator. So far we are using that in arch_get_random_seed(), but it might be useful to expose the entropy through the /dev/hwrng device as well. This allows to assess the quality of the implementation, by using "rngtest" from the rng-tools package, for example. Add a simple platform driver implementing the hw_random interface. The corresponding platform device is created by the SMCCC core code, we just match it here by name and provide a module alias. Since the firmware takes care about serialisation, this can happily coexist with the arch_get_random_seed() bits.
