Thanks for your patch.

This should probably be moved below imx_rngc_irq_mask_clear(rngc).
init_completion can stay where it is. That way:

 - You initialize rngc fully before registering the IRQ handler
 - You don't handle pending IRQs that you want to dismiss anyway
 - If the IRQ happens to be because of a SEED_DONE due to a previous
   boot stage, you don't end up completing the completion prematurely.

Cheers,
Ahmad
