Hi Mathias,
I think (but I never implemented any device drivers so take this with a
grain of salt) the most sensible solution would be to add a function to the
`at86rf2xx` driver that returns a result from the RNG and then wrap it with
`periph_hwrng` on all boards that come with this device.

Hope this was helpful,
Martine
