drivers/rtc/rtc-da9052.c: ALARM causes interrupt storm
Setting the alarm to a time not on a minute boundary results in repeated interrupts being generated by the DA9052/3 PMIC device until the kernel RTC core sees that the alarm has rung. Sometimes the number and frequency of interrupts can cause the kernel to disable the IRQ line used by the DA9052/3 PMIC with disasterous consequences. This patch fixes the problem. Even though the DA9052/3 PMIC is capable generating periodic interrupts, ie TICKS, the method used to distinguish RTC_AF from RTC_PF events was flawed and can not work in conjunction with the regmap_irq kernel core. Thus that flawed detection has also been removed by the DA9052/3 PMIC RTC driver's irq handler, so that it no longer reports the wrong type of event to the kernel RTC core. The internal static functions within the DA9052/3 PMIC RTC driver have been changed to pass the 'da9052_rtc' structure instead of the 'da9052' because there is no backwards pointer from the 'da9052' structur...
