Data valid gets cleared by reading the ISR (status register) and NOT from
reading ODATA (data register). A new data word can become available between
checking ISR and reading ODATA, causing us to reuse the same data word next
time atmel_trng_read() gets called, if that happens before the following
data word is ready.
With this fixed, rngtest no longer complains of 'Continous run' errors.
Before:
rngtest -c 1000 < /dev/hwrng
rngtest 3
