The nomadik driver uses devres to register itself with the hwrng core, the driver will be unregistered from hwrng when its device goes out of scope. This happens after the driver's remove function is called. However, nomadik's clock is disabled in the remove function. There's a short timeframe where nomadik is still registered with the hwrng core although its clock is disabled. I suppose the clock must be active to access the hardware and serve requests from the hwrng core. Switch to devm_clk_get_enabled and let devres disable the clock and unregister the hwrng. This avoids the race condition.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
