When setting a new time/date the RTC's clock must be stopped first, in

So, this change stops the clock first and then writes the time/date
registers and the clock control register (to re-enable the clock) in one
turn.

I'd have the same comment for that patch. Using
i2c_smbus_write_byte_data and i2c_smbus_write_block_data would make the
code clearer and also more robust because it takes care of
retransmissions for example.
