Hmm, I was assuming that, like other places in the tree, that priv was
declared void*.  However, it's unsigned long in hw_random.h.

And, it looks like all users cast it.  Either to a struct, or to a void
__iomem *.

So ignore what I said in my previous email.  You can add my reviewed-by
without change.

It does look like /priv/ s/unsigned long/void */ would be a great
cleanup.

thx,

Jason.
