Subject: [PATCH 11/11] rtc: mc13xxx: Don't call rtc_device_register while holding lock

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de>

Since commit f44f7f9 (RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC)
rtc_device_register reads the programmed alarm. As reading the alarm
needs to take the mc13xxx lock, release it before calling
rtc_device_register.

This fixes a deadlock during boot:

	INFO: task swapper:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
	"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
	swapper         D c02b175c     0     1      0 0x00000000
