* hwrng: st - Improve FIFO size/depth descriptionLee Jones2015-10-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The original representation of FIFO size in the driver coupled with the ambiguity in the documentation meant that it was easy to confuse readers. This lead to a false positive BUG-find and subsequently time wastage debugging this phantom issue. Hopefully this patch can prevent future readers from falling into the same trap.

* hwrng: st - Use real-world device timings for timeoutLee Jones2015-10-081-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Samples are documented to be available every 0.667us, so in theory the 8 sample deep FIFO should take 5.336us to fill. However, during thorough testing, it became apparent that filling the FIFO actually takes closer to 12us. Also take into consideration that udelay() can behave oddly i.e. not delay for as long as requested. Suggested-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>: "IIRC, Linus recommends a x2 factor on delays, especially timeouts generated by these functions.
