At first I also thought about this API. But later I came to the
conclusion that it is inappropriate here:

1. We can't call rng_read from an atomic context.
2. RNG for me looks like a very lightweight primitive to me that 
should work quiclky.

But, now I looked again at the API and realized that we can use 
readl_relaxed_poll_timeout_atomic() instead of
readl_relaxed_poll_timeout(). What do you think?
