I wonder if we want to refactor the entry points a bit more instead of
directly calling the device read functions.

I could refactor the entropy point, but it probably wouldn't add any
extra bloat, since the compiler would hopefully compile it away, but
adding the extra static function would seem to make things less
readable at least in my opinion.

Fair enough, I don't have a strong preference either way.  It was just
something I noticed when leafing through the (unfamiliar) code.
