The OMAP HS chips have the bus firewall configured to block direct
access to some cryptography related devices. The kernel will crash
with a bus error, if you try to read/write the registers for
protected devices. The omap3-rom-rng avoids this by communicating
with the security middleware component instead of directly accessing
the RNG hardware.
