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.
