To make the entropy pool a bit better we can toss in the
CID for eMMC and SD cards into it, usually the serial
number portion is at least unique.

This does not count as improvement of the entropy but
in practice it makes it a bit more random to mix in these
numbers.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Move the device_add_randomness() into each mmc_decode_cid()
  function for MMC and SD card.
- Use the raw cid, no reason to unpack the data before using
  it for this purpose.

Applied for next, thanks!

Kind regards
