Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: mark 'devm_rtc_device_register' deprecated

From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea@....nxp.com>

devm_rtc_device_register() is marked as deprecated in its
declaration comment [1].

Furthermore, comments [2] and [3] emphasize that devm_rtc_device_register()
is deprecated and that devm_rtc_allocate_device()
and [devm_]rtc_register_device should be used instead.

Add devm_rtc_device_register() to the list of deprecated apis.
