As per code flow it is possible that s3c_rtc_setfreq() might get called
with rtc clock disabled and in set_freq we perform h/w registers read/write,
which might results in a kernel crash while probing rtc driver.
Below is one such case:
s3c_rtc_probe()
clk_prepare_enable(info->rtc_clk) // rtc clock enabled
s3c_rtc_gettime() // will enable clk if not done, and disable it upon exit
s3c_rtc_setfreq() //then this will be called with clk disabled
This patch take cares of such issue by adding s3c_rtc_{enable/disable}_clk in
s3c_rtc_setfreq().
