Prarit Bhargava 8c75704ebc hwrng: geode - Revert managed API changes 
After commit e9afc74629 ("hwrng: geode - Use linux/io.h instead of
asm/io.h") the geode-rng driver uses devres with pci_dev->dev to keep
track of resources, but does not actually register a PCI driver.  This
results in the following issues:

1.  The driver leaks memory because the driver does not attach to a
device.  The driver only uses the PCI device as a reference.   devm_*()
functions will release resources on driver detach, which the geode-rng
driver will never do.  As a result,

2.  The driver cannot be reloaded because there is always a use of the
ioport and region after the first load of the driver.

Revert the changes made by  e9afc74629 ("hwrng: geode - Use linux/io.h
instead of asm/io.h").

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
