[Patch v5.1 03/03]: hwrng: khwrngd derating per device

[Torsten Duwe <duwe@lst.de>]

[checkpatch tells me not to 0-init...]

This patch introduces a derating factor to struct hwrng for
the random bits going into the kernel input pool, and a common
default derating for drivers which do not specify one.

Signed-off-by: Torsten Duwe <duwe@suse.de>
