This series adds support for the "robust" real time clock found on the
Freescale MCF5441x family of ColdFire SoCs.
Patch 1 adds the rtc-class driver. Besides the usual time/calendar and a
one-shot alarm, the block contains 2KB of battery-backed standby RAM that
survives a main-power loss while VSTBY_RTC is supplied; the driver exposes
it through the nvmem framework so userspace can persist data (for example a
reset/reboot counter) across power cycles. Register and standby-RAM writes
go through the RTC_CR[WE] knock sequence, the time counters are read under
the RTC_SR[INVAL] guard described in the reference manual, and the time/date
encoding is forced to binary at probe.
Patch 2 registers the platform device from the m5441x ColdFire SoC support
code so that every MCF5441x board gets the RTC. The MCFRTC_BASE, MCFRTC_SIZE
and MCF_IRQ_RTC definitions it relies on already exist in
arch/m68k/include/asm/m5441xsim.h.
The driver has been exercised on an MCF54418-based board: it registers
as an rtc device, exposes the standby RAM as an nvmem device, and a value
written to the standby RAM survives a mains power-cycle.

Changes in v2:
- Patch 1: wait_valid() now uses read_poll_timeout_atomic() instead of an
open-coded busy-wait. The atomic variant is required because it runs with
p->lock held and interrupts off. (Geert Uytterhoeven)
- Patch 1: nvram_read()/nvram_write() use unsigned int rather than size_t
for the chunk/index locals, and scoped_guard(spinlock_irqsave) instead of
explicit spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore(). (Geert Uytterhoeven)
