Ah, I guess your problem is that something in your openwrt config
depends on kmod-random-core, which will cause HW_RANDOM to be selected
(as m), which makes HW_RANDOM_BCM63XX visible. In that case you need
to either add "# CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_BCM63XX is not set" to
config/target/generic-3.10 or create a proper kernel module package
for HW_RANDOM_BCM63XX.
