Subject: [PATCH 4.19 111/245] rtc: sa1100: fix possible race condition

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

[ Upstream commit f2997775b111c6d660c32a18d5d44d37cb7361b1 ]

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

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