The patch series adds support for the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL routines for qemu arm64 platform. The getrng routine, used to get the random bytes, uses the virtio-rng device found on the platform. The protocol, once installed, can be used by the efi stub in the kernel for getting random bytes needed for the kaslr feature.
These patches apply on top of the patch series to add random number generator driver uclass[1]

Changes since V1: * Handle review comments from Heinrich Schuchardt. * Change the logic in the getrng routine to implement a loop to read the number of bytes requested. This change is needed to handle the change in the rng uclass's read function, which now returns the number of bytes read, which might be less than the number of bytes requested.
