Subject: [PATCH 5.17 038/158] rtc: mc146818-lib: Fix the AltCentury for AMD platforms

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@....com>

[ Upstream commit 3ae8fd41573af4fb3a490c9ed947fc936ba87190 ]

Setting the century forward has been failing on AMD platforms.
There was a previous attempt at fixing this for family 0x17 as part of
commit 7ad295d5196a ("rtc: Fix the AltCentury value on AMD/Hygon
platform") but this was later reverted due to some problems reported
that appeared to stem from an FW bug on a family 0x17 desktop system.

The same comments mentioned in the previous commit continue to apply
to the newer platforms as well.

```
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.
```

However in closer examination the change previously submitted was also
modifying bits 5 & 6 which are declared reserved in the AMD documentation.
So instead modify just the DV0 bank selection bit.

Being cognizant that there was a failure reported before, split the code
change out to a static function that can also be used for exclusions if
any regressions such as Mikhail's pop up again.
