Subject: [patch] rtc: use after free in pcf50633_rtc_probe()

"rtc" is freed and then dereferenced on the next line.  This patch fixes 
that.

This is a resend.  I have been offline for the last few months so I may 
have missed a reply or something.  Not sure what the status was.

regards,
dan carpenter
