[PATCH] rtc: armada38x: Align RTC set time procedure with the official errata

From: Nadav Haklai <nadavh at marvell.com>

According to the Armada38x functional errata FE-3124064, writing to
the RTC TIME register may fail. As a workaround, after writing to RTC
TIME register, issue a dummy write of 0x0 twice to the RTC Status
register.  This is the updated implementation of the Errata that
eliminates the need of the long 100ms delay during the RTC set time
procedure.

[gregory.clement at free-electrons.com]: removed the mutex and use the
spinlock again

Hi,

Finally the long 100ms wait was not needed! So we can remove the mutex
introduced in an earlier commit.
It would be great if this patch could be part of the 4.2-rc.

Thanks

Gregory
