[ Upstream commit464bd8ec2f] When the membase and pci_dev pointer were moved to a new struct in priv, the actual membase users were left untouched, and they started reading out arbitrary memory behind the struct instead of registers. This unfortunately turned the RNG into a constant number generator, depending on the content of what was at that offset. To fix this, update geode_rng_data_{read,present}() to also get the membase via amd_geode_priv, and properly read from the right addresses again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
