[PATCH 4/4] mfd: 88pm800: allocate pdata->rtc if not allocated earlier

RTC in pmic 88PM800 can run even the core is powered off, and user
can set alarm in RTC. When the alarm is timed out, the PMIC will power up
the core, and the whole system will boot up. And during PMIC driver probe,
it will read some register to find out whether this boot is caused by RTC
timeout or not, and pass on this information to the RTC driver.

So we need rtc platform data to be existed in PMIC driver to pass this
information.
