Subject: [PATCH] rtc: ds3234 doesn't link when built-in

When ds3234 is built-in, the final links fails with the following vague error
message:

`.exit.text' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o

ds3234_remove() cannot be marked __exit, as it's accessed via __devexit_p().
In addition, mark ds3234_probe() __devinit while we're at it.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
