As Herbert suggested exynos rng is a good example. It was wrongly
using hwrng framework then switched to using crypto framework.

I have a patch for msm rng using crypto framework, only compile tested
though. You can find the patch at
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/44r6BJgBkN/. I am having a hard time
sending patches via git send-email form a gmail account so I have put
it in pastebin. Feel free to use it if that is useful.

Regards,
