After further debug, found that the arm random config was using OABI
(old ABI) which was inferred from the compiler option '-mabi=apcs-gnu'.
kconfig option 'CONFIG_AEABI' is related to this and was disabled by
default in the config file.
Static assertion check passed when compiled the driver with
'CONFIG_AEABI' enabled. The check also passed on explicitly changing the
compiler option to '-mabi=aapcs-linux'. I will update the commit message
with this info.
