Avoid confusion by /not/ passing an unused pointer to

This change's main purpose is to prepare for the patchset in
jgarzik/misc-2.6.git#irq-remove, that explores removal of the
never-used 'irq' argument in each interrupt handler.

I don't see how these two things are connected. Yes, it's true that
this RTC driver doesn't use 'dev_id' but that's an entirely separate
issue to removing the 'int irq' argument.

As I see it, this change is just unnecessarily adding to your workload
for this patch set.

The added workload came from confusion created when I reviewed the code :)

Therefore I considered it better to have to less confusing version of the code in my tree for future reviews, and ideally have the less confusing version of the code in upstream as well.

I can remove the boilerplate paragraph from the patch description, if that's your main complaint.
