[PATCH 3/7] ARM: Use simpler API for random address requests

From: Jason Cooper <hidden>
Date: 2016-07-28 21:26:54
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

Currently, all callers to randomize_range() set the length to 0 and
calculate end by adding a constant to the start address.  We can
simplify the API to remove a bunch of needless checks and variables.

Use the new randomize_addr(start, range) call to set the requested
address.
