Subject: [PATCH v3] drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t93.c: don't let get_time() reset
 M41T93_FLAG_OF

If the rtc reports the time might be invalid due to oscillator
failure, M41T93_FLAG_OF flag must not be reset by get_time() as
the read operation doesn't make the time valid.

Without this patch, only the first get_time() reported an invalid
time, the second get_time() reported a valid time althought the
reported time is probably wrong due to oscillator failure.

Instead of resetting in get_time(), with this patch M41T93_FLAG_OF
is reset in set_time() when a valid time is to be written.
