Subject: [060/244] rtc: Fix RTC PIE frequency limit

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: John Stultz <john.stultz@...aro.org>

commit 938f97bcf1bdd1b681d5d14d1d7117a2e22d4434 upstream.

Thomas earlier submitted a fix to limit the RTC PIE freq, but
picked 5000Hz out of the air. Willy noticed that we should
instead use the 8192Hz max from the rtc man documentation.
