This (in addition to patch 5) should not be required if all RNG state
handles are already instantiated. The instantiate_rng() function checks
each state handle if it is already instantiated before trying to do so
itself. DEC0 would therefore never be used and the probe call should
succeed in non-secure mode.

I have submitted a patch [1] to u-boot that instantiates all RNG state
handles.
