[PATCH] rtc: snvs: improve timeout handling in snvs_rtc_enable()

If snvs_rtc_enable() happens to be descheduled for a period longer
than the timout period, a timeout may be indicated even if the RTC
status has changed meanwhile. Force a status read at the end of the
timeout period to prevent bogus timeout errors.
