Subject: [RESEND PATCH RFC] rtc: Fix the AltCentury value on AMD/Hygon platform

When using following operations:
date -s "21190910 19:20:00"
hwclock -w
to change date from 2019 to 2119 for test, it will fail on Hygon
Dhyana and AMD Zen CPUs, while the same operations run ok on Intel i7
platform.

MC146818 driver use function mc146818_set_time() to set register
RTC_FREQ_SELECT(RTC_REG_A)'s bit4-bit6 field which means divider stage
reset value on Intel platform to 0x7.

While AMD/Hygon RTC_REG_A(0Ah)'s bit4 is defined as DV0 [Reference]:
DV0 = 0 selects Bank 0, DV0 = 1 selects Bank 1. Bit5-bit6 is defined
as reserved.

DV0 is set to 1, it will select Bank 1, which will disable AltCentury
register(0x32) access. As UEFI pass acpi_gbl_FADT.century 0x32
(AltCentury), the CMOS write will be failed on code:
CMOS_WRITE(century, acpi_gbl_FADT.century).

Correct RTC_REG_A bank select bit(DV0) to 0 on AMD/Hygon CPUs, it will
enable AltCentury(0x32) register writing and finally setup century as
expected.

Test results on AMD/Hygon machine show that it works as expected.
