[PATCH v8 0/8] 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.

Changes since V7:
* Added a paragraph in the commit message highlighting the absence of
  the compatible string in the RNG driver, as suggested by Simon.
* Rearranged the inclusion of headers as per the coding style
  guidelines, as suggested by Simon.
* Use TPM_RNG_DRV_NAME for the RNG child name as suggested by Simon.
