x86: register a platform RTC device if PNP doesn't describe it
Most if not all x86 platforms have an RTC device, but sometimes the RTC is not exposed as a PNP0b00/PNP0b01/PNP0b02 device in PNPBIOS or ACPI: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188 It's best if we can discover the RTC via PNP because then we know which flavor of device it is, where it lives, and which IRQ it uses. But if we can't, we should register a platform device using the compiled-in RTC_PORT/RTC_IRQ resource assumptions. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Acked-by: Rafael J.
