Atleast eight bytes of this number are totally unique for the device
it seems, so this is a perfect candidate for feeding the entropy
pool. One byte more or less of constants does not matter so feed in
the entire OID struct.

Needs to be omap_device_initcall() so it doesn't get called on non-OMAPs
in a multi-platform kernel.

Otherwise looks good.
