What is the motivation for doing this? bcm2835-rng and bcmgenet are used
across MIPS and ARM platforms therefore they need to be compatible with
both, but these two LEDs drivers are super specialized, are you working
on porting the 6328 LED driver to the newer ARM-based DSL SoCs such as
63138 and 63148?
