Thank you for the update.

I talked with Ilias about this at osfc. The problem I think is that it
is not possible to reference a particular random-number generator
unless it is present in the device tree.

Here are some things that can produce random numbers, i.e. are in the
RNG uclass (which we should rename to RAND or RANDOM to fit with the
other naming there):
- software
- SoC
- TPM
- OP-TEE

For choosing which one to use, we can use aliases. so rand0 is the
first device. That alias can point into OP-TEE if desitred.

If we need a particular device to specify which random-number
generator device it should use, that can be done with a phandle, like:

board-sysinfo {
   compatible = "vendor,sysinfo-board";
   ramdom = <&optee_rng>;
}

So it should work like PCI, where we scan the bus and attach the
correct device tree subnode to the OP-TEE devices. The PCI code for
this is at
pci_bind_bus_devices() where it calls pci_bus_find_devfn().

This means we need to have compatible strings and bindings for any
devices on the bus which can be used as above. If the subnodes are
missing, then scanning will result in binding them in any case.

Simon
