[PATCH v2 1/7] rtc: stm32: use the proper register sequence to read date/time

From: Antonio Borneo <antonio.borneo at foss.st.com>

Date and time are read from two separate RTC registers.
To ensure consistency between the two registers, reading the time
register locks the values in the shadow date register until the
date register is read.
Thus, the whole date/time read requires reading the time register
first, followed by reading the date register.
If the reads are done in reversed order, the shadow date register
will remain locked until a future read operation. The future read
will read the former date value that could be already invalid.

Fix the read order of date/time registers in stm32_rtc_valid_alrm()
