Subject: [PATCH] rtc-proc: change the limitation on creating rtc proc data

To get time information via /proc/driver/rtc, only the first device (rtc0) is used.
If the rtcN (eg. rtc1 or rtc2) is used for the system clock, there is no way to
get information of rtcN via /proc/driver/rtc.
With this patch, the time data can be retrieved from the system clock RTC.

If the RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE is not defined, then rtc0 is used by default.
