Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: at91: fix startup rtc irq mask for sam9g25 and sam9g35 SoCs

The sam9g25 and sam9g35 have the following errata:
"RTC: Interrupt Mask Register cannot be used
 Interrupt Mask Register read always returns 0."

Hence we should not rely on what IMR claims about already masked irqs
and just disable all the IRQs.

Changes since v1:
- use a macro to define IRQs bitmask
- read IMR register to ensure the write to IDR has been flushed
- quote atmel's datasheet errata in commit message
- comment the code to describe why we're not using IMR to disable
  the interrupts
