This driver has no purpose.  It doesn't feed into the Linux RNG, nor
does it implement the hwrng interface.  It is accessible only via the
"rng" algorithm type of AF_ALG, which isn't used in practice.  Everyone
uses either the Linux RNG, or rarely /dev/hwrng.

Moreover, this is a PRNG whose only source of entropy is the 160-bit
seed the user passes in.  So this can be used only by a user who already
has a source of cryptographically secure random numbers, such as
/dev/random.  Which they can, and do, just use in the first place.

Just remove this driver.  There's no need to keep useless code around.

Note that the other crypto_rng drivers in drivers/crypto/ are similarly
unused and are being removed too.  This commit just handles exynos-rng.

<title>crypto: loongson - Remove broken and unused loongson-rng</title>

<id>af3d1bb9a09daf928fc3f173689fb7904d6a6d4f</id>
<content type='text'>
The loongson-rng rng_alg has several vulnerabilities, including not
providing forward security, and a use-after-free bug due to the use of
wait_for_completion_interruptible().

Meanwhile, the rng_alg framework doesn't really have any purpose in the
first place other than to access the software algorithms crypto/drbg.c
and crypto/jitterentropy.c.  Hardware-specific rng_algs have no
in-kernel user, and unlike hwrng there's no feed into the actual Linux
RNG.  As such, there's really no point to this code.  There are of
course other rng_alg drivers that are similarly unused, but they're
similarly in the process of being phased out, e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260529193648.18172-1-ebiggers@kernel.org and
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260529220430.34135-1-ebiggers@kernel.org

Given that, there's no point in fixing forward these vulnerabilities,
and it makes much more sense to simply roll back the addition of this
driver.  If this platform provides TRNG (not PRNG) functionality, it
could make sense to add a hwrng driver, but it would be quite different.
