Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ARM: rtc: update CMOS RTC to support MMIO and private lock

So far, the CMOS RTC (PC-style mc146818) has always been used
through an ISA I/O port of some sort, with each platform configuring
the address in a static way.

Some platforms (KVM with kvmtools, for example) offer a MMIO version
of the CMOS RTC, which requires a different access method.

This patch select the RTC_DRV_CMOS_MMIO configuration in order to
support MMIO accesses as well as the older IO port method.

While we're at it, switch to RTC_DRV_CMOS_PRIV_LOCK and remove the
ancient rtc_lock.

Tested on Cortex-A7 with KVM and kvmtools.
