commit 8006aff15516a170640239c5a8e6696c0ba18d8e upstream.
According to the review by Bill Cox [1], the Atmel SHA204A random number
generator produces random numbers with very low entropy.
Set the lowest possible entropy for this chip just to be safe.

Subject: [PATCH] comedi: jr3_pci: Fix synchronous deletion of timer
When `jr3_pci_detach()` is called during device removal, it calls
`timer_delete_sync()` to stop the timer, but the timer expiry function
always reschedules the timer, so the synchronization is ineffective.
Call `timer_shutdown_sync()` instead. It does not matter that the timer
expiry function pointer is cleared, because the device is being removed.
