Sorry for the very long silence on this one, it fell off my radar...

Add support for the hardware Random Number Generator (RNGB) found on
MCF54418 ColdFire processors with clock enabled at platform
initialization.

The RNGB block is compatible with the imx-rngc driver.

I am happy with the ColdFire arch parts, so from me:

     Acked-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I don't mind taking this commit via the m68knommu git tree if the hw_rng
maintainers are ok with that. Otherwise if you break out the arch/m68k
parts I can apply those on their own.

I think Herbert acked ?
Do you need another ack ?

I would like to see an acknowledgement that taking this patch via the
m68knommu git tree (to Linus) is ok with the RNG maintainers.

I have no objections to this.

Thanks Herbert.

JM: I have applied this to the for-next branch of the m68knommu git tree.
I didn't quite go on cleanly, so please double check it for me.

Thanks, I think you missed 1/2 ?
Or did I miss something ?

Thanks !
JM
