[PATCH v2 05/10] hwrng: stm32 - rework error handling in stm32_rng_read()

From: Gatien Chevallier
Date: Mon Sep 11 2023 - 16:49:00 EST


Try to conceal seed errors when possible. If, despite the error
concealing tries, a seed error is still present, then return an error.

A clock error does not compromise the hardware block and data can
still be read from RNG_DR. Just warn that the RNG clock is too slow
and clear RNG_SR.

Changes in V2:
- Use WARN_ONCE instead of WARN_ON as it was buggy
