Subject: [PATCH 7/8] char: rtc: remove task handling

Since commit 9e7002a70e42 ("char: rtc: remove unused rtc_control() API"),
it is not possible to set a callback anymore, remove its handling from the
interrupt handler.

Hi,

My plan is to take that patch through the RTC tree because the next patch relies
on the rtc_task_t *rtc_callback removal.
