Subject: [PATCH 5.4 14/38] powerpc/powernv: delay rng platform device creation until later in boot

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@...c4.com>

commit 887502826549caa7e4215fd9e628f48f14c0825a upstream.

The platform device for the rng must be created much later in boot.
Otherwise it tries to connect to a parent that doesn't yet exist,
resulting in this splat:

  [    0.000478] kobject: '(null)' ((____ptrval____)): is not initialized, yet kobject_get() is being called.
  [    0.002925] [c000000002a0fb30] [c00000000073b0bc] kobject_get+0x8c/0x100 (unreliable)

  [    0.003623] [c000000002a0fe20] [c000000002060c38] random_init+0xc0/0x214

This patch fixes the issue by doing the platform device creation inside
of machine_subsys_initcall.
