  19  * struct hwrng - Hardware Random Number Generator driver
  20  * @name:               Unique RNG name.
  21  * @init:               Initialization callback (can be NULL).
  22  * @cleanup:            Cleanup callback (can be NULL).
  23  * @data_present:       Callback to determine if data is available
  24  *                      on the RNG. If NULL, it is assumed that
  25  *                      there is always data available.  *OBSOLETE*
  26  * @data_read:          Read data from the RNG device.
  27  *                      Returns the number of lower random bytes in "data".
  28  *                      Must not be NULL.    *OBSOLETE*
  29  * @read:               New API. drivers can fill up to max bytes of data
  30  *                      into the buffer. The buffer is aligned for any type.
  31  * @priv:               Private data, for use by the RNG driver.
  32  * @quality:            Estimation of true entropy in RNG's bitstream
  33  *                      (per mill).
