hwrng: timeriomem - relax check on memory resource size
The timeriomem_rng driver only accesses the first 4 bytes of the given memory area and currently, it also forces that memory resource to be exactly 4 bytes in size. This, however, is problematic when used with device-trees that are generated from things like FPGA toolchains, where the minimum size of an exposed memory block may be something like 4k. Hence, let's only check for what's needed for the driver to operate properly; namely that we have enough memory available to read the random data from.
