Subject: [PATCH 4.14 35/68] rtc: snvs: fix possible race condition

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@....com>

[ Upstream commit 6fd4fe9b496d9ba3382992ff4fde3871d1b6f63d ]

The RTC IRQ is requested before the struct rtc_device is allocated,
this may lead to a NULL pointer dereference in IRQ handler.

To fix this issue, allocating the rtc_device struct before requesting
the RTC IRQ using devm_rtc_allocate_device, and use rtc_register_device
to register the RTC device.
