[PATCH REPOST] rtc: honor device tree /alias entries when assigning IDs

[Stephen Warren]

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>

Assign RTC device IDs based on device tree /aliases entries if present,
falling back to the existing numbering scheme if there is no /aliases
entry (which includes when the system isn't booted using DT), or there
is a numbering conflict.

This is useful in systems with multiple RTC devices, to ensure that the
best RTC device is selected as /dev/rtc0, which provides the overall
system time.

For example, Tegra has an on-SoC RTC that is not battery backed,
typically coupled with an off-SoC RTC that is battery backed. Only the
latter is useful for populating the system time, yet the former is
useful e.g. for wakeup timing, since the time is not lost when the
system is sleeps.

The 3 patches in this series are all independent; they can be applied
to their respective subsystems in any order. I'm simply posting them as
a series to make the use-case more obvious.
