I've asked a colleague who still works at Qualcomm to test this code on 
silicon.  It looks okay, but I just want to be sure.

I'm having second thoughts about this PRNG_CONFIG_HW_ENABLE check.  The 
PRNG on the QDF2400 is the same as the one on the 8996, so it should 
have the same register interface.  Currently, the ACPI table points to a 
full PRNG register block, but I'm beginning to believe that it should 
instead point to a "reduced" block that doesn't have a PRNG_CONFIG register.
