Subject: [PATCH 5.18 571/879] hwrng: cn10k - Optimize cn10k_rng_read()

From: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 753d6770879894de10d74b437ab99ea380f1cad7 ]

This function assumes that sizeof(void) is 1 and arithmetic works for
void pointers. This is a GNU C extention and may not work with other
compilers. Change this by using an u8 pointer.

Also move cn10k_read_trng() out of a loop thus saving some cycles.

Fixes: 38e9791a0209 ("hwrng: cn10k - Add random number generator support")
