FreeBSD doesn't expose hardware RNGs directly to userspace - they are
used solely as entropy inputs to Yarrow, which drives /dev/random.

If you want to test how random the ARM RNG is, then you will need to
adapt the driver to also expose a device interface to the raw RNG data
that can be read, and then find a suitable RNG test suite.

If you're just concerned about the quality of /dev/random then you
should read random(4).
