Hi Chen-Yu,

I've not examined the actual values it returns, I will do so in future
iterations.

Alsom, I misread the original rk_rng_write_ctl() function, I will bring
it back and also improve the comment describing it.

The upper 16 bits are apparently used as hardware mask when writing the
lower 16 bits...

I will send v7 after testing.
