It looks to me like some issue between devres, the Geode hwrng and AES drivers which both use the same PCI device. It does > I'm no expert here, but I curious if this will cause any issues when using the hardware crypto drivers and also what's the best way to get rid of this? Probably to create an mfd device that turns the PCI device into two MFD devices and bind AES and hwrng one to each MFD device. Take a look in drivers/mfd. That would also fix the uglies in mod_init for the rng driver. Alan
