After commit31b2a73c9c("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. Revert the changes made by31b2a73c9c("hwrng: amd - Migrate to managed API").

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.
