From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea@oss.nxp.com>
devm_rtc_device_register() is marked as deprecated in its
declaration comment [1].
Furthermore, comments [2] and [3] emphasize that devm_rtc_device_register()
is deprecated and that devm_rtc_allocate_device()
and [devm_]rtc_register_device should be used instead.
Add devm_rtc_device_register() to the list of deprecated apis.
