Kulikov, can you at least build test your patches?  Casts are not
always incorrect, particularly when private cookies are "unsigned
long" as is the case here:

drivers/char/hw_random/n2-drv.c: In function ‘n2rng_data_read’:
drivers/char/hw_random/n2-drv.c:390: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast

Herbert, please revert this change, thanks.  And I suspect there
might be more of these hwrng driver duds that went into the tree,
it's worth checking out. :-)

Thanks.
