[PATCH RESEND 4/6] rtc-mc146818-lib: reduce RTC_UIP polling period

[Mateusz Jończyk]

A shorter period makes mc146818_get_time() more similar to
mach_get_cmos_time() in arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c, which performs the same
function, but is busy waiting for the RTC_UIP bit to clear.

Waiting 1ms every time is not necessary, for example on some AMD boxes
the RTC_UIP bit is documented as being high for around 270 microseconds
in some cases [1], which agreed with experiments on an SB710
southbridge. So 100us seems optimal.

[1] AMD SB700/710/750 Register Reference Guide, page 307,
https://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/43009_sb7xx_rrg_pub_1.00.pdf

        "SB700 A12: The UIP high pulse is 270 μS Typical when SS on SRC
        clock is OFF and 100μ min when SRC SS is ON." [sic]
