hwrng: st - Improve FIFO size/depth description
The original representation of FIFO size in the driver coupled with the ambiguity in the documentation meant that it was easy to confuse readers. This lead to a false positive BUG-find and subsequently time wastage debugging this phantom issue. Hopefully this patch can prevent future readers from falling into the same trap.
