[PATCH v5 1/5] rtc: sysfs: facilitate attribute add to rtc device

[Denis OSTERLAND]

From: Denis Osterland <Denis.Osterland@xxxxxxxxx>

This patches addresses following problem:
rtc_allocate_device
devm_device_add_group  <-- kernel oops / null pointer, because
			sysfs entry does not yet exist
rtc_register_device
rc = devm_device_add_group
if (rc)
	return rc;     <-- forbidden to return error code
			after device register

This patch adds rtc_add_group(s) functions.
The functions store the sum of attribute groups as device resource.
