How can you be sure that this cast is appropriate? I.e. how is it guaranteed 
that data is 4-byte aligned?
While reading we check the alignment:

               /* make sure we stay on 32bit boundary */
               if ((max - currsize) < WORD_SZ)
                       break;
Also, the data variable in qcom_rng_generate is a u8 -- shouldn't this type be 
used instead of a void?
That does make sense to me. IIRC the read is for a byte. I will check
this and update it

Thanks for the quick review
