Subject: [PATCH v2] rtc: rtc-at91rm9200: fix uninterruptible wait for ACKUPD

The rtc user must wait at least 1 sec between each time/calandar update
(see atmel's datasheet chapter "Updating Time/Calendar").

Use the SECEV interrupt (as suggested by the datasheet) to wait for the RTC
to be ready for new updates.

Hello,

This patch fixes a deadlock in an uninterruptible wait when the RTC is
updated more than once every second.
AFAICT the bug is here from the beginning, but I think we should at least
backport this fix to 3.10 and the following longterm and stable releases.

Best Regards,

Boris
Hang on, I found a problem.  My system works fine on a soft reboot, but during a power cycle my system hangs.  Last thing I see to print is "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."  If I removde the backup battery for the RTC my system boots just fine.  Luckily this is very repeatable on my system.  This looks similar to the early rtt-interrupt bug which was fixed about 7 months ago (linux-stable commits 6ce3ee9af1ad697c71766067ffa1a35352dfdcfd and 54f830b7337ed016b6708cf5a2ac297d4cee227d).  I confirmed that the kernel I'm using has the relevant fix applied from 7 months ago.  Did this fix reintroduce the early rtt-interrupt bug?

Let me know if you would like me to test anything or more information.

Regards,
Bryan

Changes since v1:
- disable SECEV interrupt when the RTC is ready to accept new time updates
