The seed is reload periodically, there are two choice of seeds, default using
the val from LFSR, seed_sel = 1  will use the val generated by ring oscillator.

Ok, will use data_read callback in struct hwrng.

Not clear, your mean introduce the data variable?
Will use following data_read, thanks.

static int hisi_rng_data_read(struct hwrng *rng, u32 *data)
{
       struct hisi_rng *hrng = to_hisi_rng(rng);
       *data = readl_relaxed(hrng->base + RNG_RAN_NUM);
       return 4;
}

Thanks,
