rtc: ep93xx: Initialize drvdata before registering device
Commit f44f7f96a20 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") uncovered an issue in a number of RTC drivers, where the drivers call rtc_device_register before initializing the device or platform drvdata. This frequently results in null pointer dereferences when the rtc_device_register immediately makes use of the rtc device, calling rtc_read_alarm. The solution is to ensure the drvdata is initialized prior to registering the rtc device.
