timeriomem_rng only supports a single device instance. This patch
enables multiple timeriomem_rng devices to coexist as well as adds
some additional error checking.

There is no ioremap'ing or anything in timeriomem-rng.c as I foolishly
used already remapped virtual addresses instead of passing the physical
address to be polled.
This patch fixes this flaw and lets developers do the Right Thing(tm).

Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can
supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for
TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address. This
source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality
suffers.
The driver is then hooked into by calling
platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to:
------
static struct timeriomem_rng_data ts78xx_ts_rng_data = {
.address = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG,
.period = 1000000, /* one second */
};
static struct platform_device ts78xx_ts_rng_device = {
.name = "timeriomem_rng",
.id = -1,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &ts78xx_ts_rng_data,
},
.num_resources = 0,
};
