[PATCH v4 0/2] m68k: coldfire: Add RNG support for MCF54418

[Jean-Michel Hautbois via B4 Relay]

This series adds support for the MCF54418 hardware random number generator
(RNGB).

The MCF54418 contains an RNGB hardware block compatible with the imx-rngc
driver. This series enables its use by:
- Adding platform device registration for the RNG hardware
- Enabling the clock at platform initialization
- Making the imx-rngc driver compatible with Coldfire's always-on clock
model using devm_clk_get_optional()

Testing on DLC Next board shows:
- Hardware RNG throughput: 26 MB/s
- FIPS 140-2 quality: 0.2% failure rate (rng-tools)
- Boot time improvement: CRNG initialization 7 seconds faster

Changes in v4:
- Postpone const qualifiers for now
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251124-b4-m5441x-add-rng-support-v3-0-f447251dad27@yoseli.org

Changes in v3:
- Depend on COLDFIRE is enough
- Split the clock change in a dedicated commit
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251107-b4-m5441x-add-rng-support-v2-0-f91d685832b9@yoseli.org

Changes in v2:
- Split const qualifier changes into a separate patch as suggested by
Frank Li
- Mark all resource arrays (including RNG) as const in device.c
- No functional changes to RNG implementation

[PATCH v4 1/2] hwrng: imx-rngc: Use optional clock

[Jean-Michel Hautbois via B4 Relay]

From: Jean-Michel Hautbois <jeanmichel.hautbois@yoseli.org>

Change devm_clk_get() to devm_clk_get_optional() to support platforms
where the RNG clock is always enabled and not exposed via the clock
framework (such as ColdFire MCF54418).

The clock is not optional on a standard imx25 system. If it's missing in the
device tree, the rngb will not work and we should not load the driver.

Should we call devm_clk_get or devm_clk_get_optional, depending on the
detected device?

Best regards,
Martin

As the clocks property is marked required in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rng/imx-rng.yaml, "make dtbs_check"
should flag a missing clock.

That can quickly lead to complex code.  Nowadays it is fine to rely on
"make dtbs_check" for some part of the validation.

ok, understood. With this clarification, I'm happy with the patch.

[PATCH v4 2/2] m68k: coldfire: Add RNG support for MCF54418

[Jean-Michel Hautbois via B4 Relay]

From: Jean-Michel Hautbois <jeanmichel.hautbois@yoseli.org>

Add support for the hardware Random Number Generator (RNGB) found on
MCF54418 ColdFire processors with clock enabled at platform
initialization.

The RNGB block is compatible with the imx-rngc driver.

I am happy with the ColdFire arch parts, so from me:

     Acked-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@linux-m68k.org>

I don't mind taking this commit via the m68knommu git tree if the hw_rng
maintainers are ok with that. Otherwise if you break out the arch/m68k
parts I can apply those on their own.

Greg

I think Herbert acked ?
Do you need another ack ?

I would like to see an acknowledgement that taking this patch via the
m68knommu git tree (to Linus) is ok with the RNG maintainers.

Re: [PATCH v4 2/2] m68k: coldfire: Add RNG support for MCF54418

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

Herbert, Greg,

Gentle ping, and the delay is mostly mine: this sat on my own list for
months. The series has had all the acks it needs since December 2025,
but Greg would like your word before taking the arch half[1].

The two patches are independent at build time, so the simplest path is
the one Greg suggested himself[2]: 1/2 through crypto, 2/2 through
m68knommu. 2/2 is mostly arch code, but it also adds COLDFIRE to the
HW_RANDOM_IMX_RNGC dependency and a platform id_table to imx-rngc.c[3],
so it needs your ack for Greg to take it.

Both still apply with git am -3 on current mainline and on
m68knommu/for-next. Happy to send a rebased v5 instead, no rush.

Or did I miss something ?

I assumed patch 1/2 would go via the RNG maintainers directly since it has
no dependency on, and contains no arch code for, m68knommu. Is the expectation
that I should push that too?
