Right. Thanks for the explanation Greg. I have no _strong_ reasons -
which means I'll split the RTC support patch in BD71828 series into two
- first of the patches being this fix, second being the BD71828
support. Then this fix can be taken in 5.4 after it has been merged to
Linus' tree - the BD71828 support can be omitted from 5.4

I hope the BD71828 series could still make it to next release - but if
it wont, then it might be in next after that :]

Lee, please skip this one, I'll do v10 of the BD71828 series where this
fix is included as separate fix-patch.
