Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 126/205] rtc: pl030: fix possible race condition

From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@...tlin.com>

[ Upstream commit c778ec85825dc895936940072aea9fe9037db684 ]

The IRQ is requested before the struct rtc is allocated and registered, but
this struct is used in the IRQ handler. This may lead to a NULL pointer
dereference.

Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to allocate the rtc
before requesting the IRQ.
