hwrng: amd - Revert managed API changes
commit 69db7009318758769d625b023402161c750f7876 upstream. After commit 31b2a73c9c5f ("hwrng: amd - Migrate to managed API"), the amd-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 message WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 621 at drivers/base/dd.c:349 driver_probe_device+0x38c is output when the i2c_amd756 driver loads and attempts to register a PCI driver. The PCI & device subsystems assume that no resources have been registered for the device, and the WARN_ON() triggers since amd-rng has already do so. 2. 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 amd-rng driver will never do. As a result, 3. The driver cannot be reloaded because there is always a use of the ioport and region after the first load of the driver.
