Actually, it's not about the RTC part, but the reset one.

The A31 has some timers set in reset, so, in order to use those
timers, we have to init the reset controller driver before calling
clocksource_of_init.

The reset framework related patch (8f1ae77f) in drivers-for-3.14
introduces a function that is called in init_time, in a patch in
core-for-3.14 (751b2ac4).

So I just merged the driver branch to avoid a compilation breakage. If
you prefer to do it another way, I'm ok with it too :)
