We have been getting build warning about:
drivers/char/hw_random/stm32-rng.c: In function 'stm32_rng_read':
drivers/char/hw_random/stm32-rng.c:82:19: warning: 'sr' may be used
uninitialized in this function

On checking the code it turns out that sr can never be used
uninitialized as sr is getting initialized in the while loop and while
loop will always execute as the minimum value of max can be 32.
So just initialize sr to 0 while declaring it to silence the compiler.

BTW, regarding your build infrastructure, I'd also recommend building
with 'make -s' to make the output more compact.

travis is having a timeout and if there is no output from the build within a time limit then it will cancel the build. I can use the option if i can increase the timeout limit. I will have a look at the options. Thanks for the idea.
