[RFC] Driver for Real Time Clock chip ST M41T65

From: Steven A. Falco

I will be using a Real Time Clock chip, ST M41T65, on a new embedded system.
The chip is quite similar to the M41T8x family, which already has driver
rtc-m41t80.c.

Would it be more acceptible to generalize rtc-m41t80.c (perhaps renaming it to
rtc-m41txx.c) or would it be better to create a new rtc-m41t6x.c?

The main differences I see between the M41T65 and M41T80 are that:

1) The M41T65 watchdog timer has three bits controlling resolution (versus two
for the M41T80).

2) There is no register 0x13 for controlling square-wave output.

Here is the patch I am currently using (on some prototype hardware), for
reference. I've introduced two new feature bits to cover the above
differences. I have not yet done any renaming, nor have I modified any of the
defconfigs to account for a name change.
