Subject: [PATCH 4.14 233/239] rtc: armada38x: fix possible race condition

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

[ Upstream commit 7d61cbb945a753af08e247b5f10bdd5dbb8d6c80 ]

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.
