Subject: [PATCH 0/3] virtio-rng: contribute to early randomness requests

Hi,

This series enables virtio-rng to service the early randomness
requests made by the hwrng core (patch 2), with Herbert's idea of
using the scan routine.

Patch 3 reverts the previous restriction, which no longer applies, to
not send read requests to the host before successful probe.

Patch 1 is a minor cleanup.

Please review and apply,

Amit Shah (3):
  virtio: rng: remove unused struct element
  virtio: rng: delay hwrng_register() till driver is ready
  Revert "hwrng: virtio - ensure reads happen after successful probe"
