rtc-stk17ta8: fix races around device registration
- Call dev_set_drvdata before rtc device creation.
- Use its own spinlock instead of rtc->irq_lock. Because pdata->rtc
must be initialized to use the irq_lock (pdata->rtc->irq_lock). There
is a small window which rtc methods can be called before pdata->rtc is
initialized.
And there is no need use the irq_lock to protect hardware registers.
The driver's own spinlock shoule be enough.
- Check pdata->rtc before calling rtc_update_irq.
- Use alarm_irq_enable and remove ioctl routine.
- Use devres APIs and simplify error/remove path.
These fixes are ported from ds1553 driver and just compile-tested only.
