[PATCH] RTC/PCF85063: fix reading/setting time/date
From: Juergen Borleis

The PCF85063 RTC needs special treatment while setting or reading the
time/date:
- while reading the 7 time/date registers they are blocked from updating by
the one second pulse internally. So reading all time/date registers should
happen in one turn to ensure reading is an atomic operation
- to let setting the time/date be an atomic operation as well, the clock
dividers must be kept in reset state to avoid a one second pulse during
writing the 7 time/date registers
Patch 1 and 2 change reading the time/date. I have kept them separately for
easier review. Squasching both into one patch render it more or less
unreadable.
Patch 3 changes setting the time/date.
Comments are welcome
