I have checked the series.

I am not sure I follow that this is v2 and you read CONFIG register.
Apart from that other changes look mostly okay with few nitpicks :)

But there is a bigger concern raised by Herbert on this not being a true
RNG and thus should be moved to crypto/

I have the changes ready for that, I will test them later today and
share with you, ACPI addition should be easy on that driver
