The module verifies that you have one of the PCI devices in that table,
so you need to modify it to get the driver to load:

static int __init mod_init(void)
{
int err = -ENODEV;
int i;
struct pci_dev *dev = NULL;
void __iomem *mem = mem;
u8 hw_status;
struct intel_rng_hw *intel_rng_hw;

for (i = 0; !dev && pci_tbl[i].vendor; ++i)
dev = pci_get_device(pci_tbl[i].vendor, pci_tbl[i].device,
NULL);

if (!dev)
goto out; /* Device not found. */
