up to: 211e5db19d15: rtc: mc146818: Detect and handle broken RTCs


A fix for handling advertised, but non-existent 146818 RTCs correctly. With
the recent UIP handling changes the time readout of non-existent RTCs hangs
forever as the read returns always 0xFF which means the UIP bit is
set. Sanity check the RTC before registering by checking the RTC_VALID
register for correctness.

Thanks,

tglx
