Some whitespace weirdness here. Recommend never using tabs except at the
beginning of a line.

This could be simplified a bit:

- deduplicate avail check
- only relax when data's not available
- drop some one use vars

while (!__raw_read(rng_base + ...) {
	if (!wait)
		return;
	cpu_relax();
}

The buffer passed in is guaranteed aligned:

static u8 rng_buffer[SMP_CACHE_BYTES < 32 ? 32 : SMP_CACHE_BYTES]
	__cacheline_aligned;
...
		return rng->read(rng, (void *)buffer, size, wait);
