It's not the first letter, it looks like this:

  powernv-rng: registered powernv hwrng.

Which looks nice to me, but I can make it this if you prefer:

  powernv-rng: Registered powernv hwrng.


And it's not per-device due to the trick in the probe routine. It's a
bit sneaky but we need to make it a proper driver for module loading to
work, but we only want to register one hwrng device.

cheers
