Ian Molton 9996508b33 hwrng: core - Replace u32 in driver API with byte array
This patch implements a new method by which hw_random hardware drivers
can pass data to the core more efficiently, using a shared buffer.

The old methods have been retained as a compatability layer until all the
drivers have been updated.
