Add support for the RTC found in the SpacemiT P1 PMIC. Initially
only setting and reading the time are supported.
The PMIC is implemented as a multi-function device. This RTC is
probed based on this driver being named in a MFD cell in the simple
MFD I2C driver.

That should be -EINVAL, as all the other drivers have standardized this.
