When suspended to RAM device will loose the contents of registers
(including SEED registers) so it has to be initialized with something on
resume.
The seed registers are write-only so I cannot read them and store
contents just before suspend.
I understand that real seed should not be stored... but then if I am not
able to re-seed it with same values, I will loose the continuous and
reproducible pseudo-random generation after suspend. Aren't this
expected out of PRNG?

Right, there is a overflow here. It should be sizeof(rng->seed_save);
Thanks for review!
