To allow this device to fill the kernel's entropy pool at boot,
setup a default quality for the hwrng found in Cr50.

After some testing with rngtest and dieharder it was, in short,
discovered that the RNG produces fair quality randomness, giving
around 99.93% successes in rngtest FIPS140-2.

Notably, though, when testing with dieharder it was noticed that
the p-values distribution wasn't uniform in all the cases, so a
conservative quality value was chosen.

Sorry for the resend, I forgot to include linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org the
first time.
