 Mark> Is it worth enabling the hardware enabled only when the device is open?

Potentially, though I doubt it uses significant power. I kept it like
this for simplicity, to match the other drivers and because hw_random
doesn't have an open/close callback (init is called right away in
hwrng_register or on current change).
