[PATCH v7 0/7] tpm: rng: Move TPM RNG functionality to driver model

The TPM device provides the random number generator(RNG)
functionality, whereby sending a command to the TPM device results in
the TPM device responding with random bytes.

There was a discussion on the mailing list earlier[1], where it was
explained that platforms with a TPM device can install the
EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL for getting the random bytes instead of populating
the dtb with the kaslr-seed property. That would make it possible to
measure the dtb.

The TPM uclass driver adds the RNG child device as part of it's
post_probe function.

Some additional changes have also been made to facilitate the
use of the RNG devices, including extending the 'rng' command to take
the RNG device as one of the command-line parameters.

This series depends on a patch[2] from Simon Glass for moving the TPM
device version detection functions to the tpm_api.h header as static
inline functions.

These patches were under discussion earlier, specifically the patch to
add the RNG functionality under the TPM device as a child, either
through manual binding or through the device tree. Ilias had commented
on the discussion last[3]. The discussion can be resumed through this
version.

I have dropped certain patches which were changing some of the TPM API
functions to return an int instead of the current u32. These patches
have been dropped due to review comments from Simon[4]. This work can
be taken up separately, if desired.
