Subject: [PATCH 00/11] Stop setting max_user_freq in rtc drivers

max_user_freq has not been related to the hardware RTC since 6610e0893b8b
("RTC: Rework RTC code to use timerqueue for events"). It is not limited by
the hardware capabilities and so it is not necessary to set it from the RTC
drivers as a user with sufficient rights will be able to change the value.
Also, max_user_freq is always clamped to 5000, there is not point in
setting an higher value.
