[PATCH] some rtc documentation updates

Fix typo when describing RTC_WKALM.  Add some helpful pointers to people
developing their own RTC driver.  Change a bunch of the error messages in the
test program to be a bit more helpful.

Note that many of these ioctls need not actually be implemented by your
driver. The common rtc-dev interface handles many of these nicely if your
driver returns ENOIOCTLCMD. Some common examples:
* RTC_RD_TIME, RTC_SET_TIME: the read_time/set_time functions will be
called with appropriate values.
* RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ, RTC_WKALM_SET, RTC_WKALM_RD: the
set_alarm/read_alarm functions will be called. To differentiate
between the ALM and WKALM, check the larger fields of the rtc_wkalrm
struct (like tm_year). These will be set to -1 when using ALM and
will be set to proper values when using WKALM.
* RTC_IRQP_SET, RTC_IRQP_READ: the irq_set_freq function will be called
to set the frequency while the framework will handle the read for you
since the frequency is stored in the irq_freq member of the rtc_device
structure. Also make sure you set the max_user_freq member in your
initialization routines so the framework can sanity check the user
input for you.
If all else fails, check out the rtc-test.c driver!
