RTC IP have kicker feature which prevents spurious writes to its registers.
In order to write into any of the RTC registers, KICK values has to be
written to KICK registers.
Introduce omap_hwmod_rtc_unlock/lock functions, which  writes into these
KICK registers inorder to lock and unlock RTC registers.

This test looks bogus.  Shouldn't it AND the register value with
OMAP_RTC_STATUS_BUSY?  Right now the code is AND-ing with 0x44, which
doesn't include the BUSY bit.  So I guess the tests that you mentioned in
the first message of the series don't cover the BUSY case?

Finally, could you ask the IP block maintainer to confirm the
interpretation that, for any STATUS_REG read where the BUSY bit is 0, that
we are guaranteed to have at least 15 microseconds from that point in time
to access the IP block?  It appears to be this way from my reading of the
TRM; but to me, the phrasing is not explicit.  Another interpretation
could be that the BUSY bit reflects the IP block's current status.  If
this latter case is true, then to ensure that the IP block accesses
complete inside the access window, we'll either need to test the BUSY bit
after the writes to ensure that it is still 0, and otherwise repeat the
busy test and writes; or we'll need to wait for a 0->1 BUSY transition
before we wait for a 1->0 BUSY transition.

Any update?

Sorry for the delay, I am on a vacation right now. I have already sent
a mail to the HW guys. Will update you as soon as I receive a reply
from them.

Thanks and regards,
