Subject: [PATCH v3 mvebu + mvebu/dt64 3/6] firmware: turris-mox-rwtm: fail probing when firmware does not support hwrng

When Marvell's rWTM firmware, which does not support the GET_RANDOM
command, is used, kernel prints an error message
  hwrng: no data available
every 10 seconds.

Fail probing of this driver if the rWTM firmware does not support the
GET_RANDOM command.

This makes it possible to put this driver's compatible into generic
armada-37xx device tree, to be available for other Armada 3720 devices
besides Turris MOX. If they use the rWTM firmware from CZ.NIC, they will
have HWRNG available, and if not, the driver won't be complaining.
