What's the interface to access this? 

A node with a 'compatible' and nothing else is a sign of something that 
a parent device should instantiate and doesn't need to be in DT. IOW, 
what do complete bindings for firmware functions look like?

Dear Rob,
	You can check my driver for detail:
	http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11012475/ or patchset 3/3

	This driver is registered as hardware random number generator, and
combines with rng-core.
	We want to add one rng hw based on the dts. Is this proper or do you
have other suggestion to meet this requirement?

	Thanks

I could, or you could just answer my question.

It depends. There doesn't appear to be any resource configuration, so
why does it need to be in DT. DT is not the only way instantiate
drivers.

This hwrng is only supported on some chipsets. It needs DT to identify
which platform is supported or not. Is there any better idea to meet
this requirement?

We would like to consult more about this patch.
We cannot figure out what method should be used instead of DT.
The interface to access firmware is "smc" and firmware function only
exists on certain platforms.
Some DT has similar way, like:
http://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/hisilicon/hi6220-hikey.dts#L470

	firmware {
		optee {
			compatible = "linaro,optee-tz";
			method = "smc";
		};
	};

Is there any way to instantiate driver on certain platforms without DT?
Could you give us some examples?
Thanks

We would like to revise our DT node as below:

firmware {
	hwrng {
		compatible = "mediatek,mtk-sec-rng";
		method = "smc";
	};
};

And dt-bindings path would be changed because it's base on ARM TrustZone
Firmware.
From "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rng/mtk-sec-rng.txt"
To
"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/firmware/mediatek,mtk-sec-rng.txt"

We found some similar examples which also provide an interface to trap
to Secure State through SMC instruction.
Example 1: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/firmware/xxx.txt
Example 2: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/psci.txt

Is that okay for you?
