[PATCH v7 10/15] crypto/fsl: Improve hwrng performance in kernel

From: Ye Li <ye.li at nxp.com>

RNG parameters are reconfigured.
- For TRNG to generate 256 bits of entropy, RNG TRNG Seed Control register
  is configured to have reduced SAMP_SIZE from default 2500 to 512. it is
  number of entropy samples that will be taken during Entropy generation.
- self-test registers(Monobit Limit, Poker Range, Run Length Limit)
  are synchronized with new RTSDCTL[SAMP_SIZE] of 512.

TRNG time is caluculated based on sample size.
time required to generate entropy is reduced and
hwrng performance improved from 0.3 kB/s to 1.3 kB/s.
