Subject: [GIT PULL] random number generator updates for 6.10-rc1

Hi Linus,

I usually like to send you a pull early, but things got a bit delayed for me.
Nonetheless, these three small commits have been cooking in -next for a while
and I don't expect much trouble.

This pull has one new feature:

- The vmgenid driver can now be bound using device tree, rather than just
  ACPI. The improvement, from Sudan, lets Amazon's Firecracker VMM make use of
  the virtual device without having to expose an otherwise unused ACPI stack
  in their "micro VM".

Please pull.

Thanks,
Jason
