given in random(4).
This includes updating of the relevant man pages, and no-longer-used
harvesting parameters.
Ensure that the pseudo-unit-test still does something useful, now also
with the "other" algorithm instead of Yarrow.

Upstream DTBs don't provide IRQ lines for the RNG. Moreover, harvesting
bytes as often as the RNG interrupt is triggered (87 times per sec) is an
overkill.
For these reasons, get rid of the interrupt mode and make callout mode the
default, with random bits harvested every 4 seconds.

- Added more compatibility strings to drivers not yet converted
- Added new RPI platform code compatibility string to match the ones used
upstream
- Adapted RPI and RPI2 DTS to match the new platform code compatibility
string
The goal is to use the upstream DTBs as a replacement for our custom one.
This is now possible with these changes.
Additionally, as the RPI firmware automatically chooses the right DTB for
us, this would allow to have one common armv6 kernel for RPI0 and RPI1
(BCM2835-based), and one common armv7 kernel for RPI2 v1.1 (BCM2836-based),
and RPI2 v1.2 / RPI3 (BCM2837-based).

Summary:
This driver supports the following methods to trigger gathering random bits from the hardware:
1. interrupt when the FIFO is full (default) fed into the harvest queue
2. callout (when BCM2835_RNG_USE_CALLOUT is defined) every second if hz is less than 100, otherwise hz / 100, feeding the random bits into the harvest queue
If the kernel is booted with verbose enabled, the contents of the registers will be dumped after the RBG is started during the attach routine.
Author: hackagadget_gmail.com (Stephen J. Kiernan)
Test Plan: Built RPI2 kernel and booted on board. Tested the different methods to feed the harvest queue (callout, interrupt) and the interrupt driven approach seems best. However, keeping the other method for people to be able to experiment with.
