[PATCH v2 2/4] crypto: exynos - Improve performance of PRNG

[Åukasz Stelmach]

Cc: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <b.zolnierkie@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Use memcpy_fromio() instead of custom exynos_rng_copy_random() function
to retrieve generated numbers from the registers of PRNG.

Rearrange the loop around cpu_relax(). In a loop with while() at the
beginning and the cpu_relax() removed the retry variable is decremented
twice (down to 98). This means, the status register is read three
times before the hardware is ready (which is very quick). Apparently,
cpu_relax() requires noticeable amount of time to execute, so it seems
better to call it for the first time before checking the status of
PRNG. The do {} while () loop decrements the retry variable only once,
which means, the time required for cpu_relax() is long enough to for
the PRNG to provide results. On the other hand, performance in this
arrangement isn't much worse than in a loop without cpu_relax().
