rtc: rtc-at91rm9200: fix infinite wait for ACKUPD irq
The rtc user must wait at least 1 sec between each time/calandar update (see atmel's datasheet chapter "Updating Time/Calendar"). Use the 1Hz interrupt to update the at91_rtc_upd_rdy flag and wait for the at91_rtc_wait_upd_rdy event if the rtc is not ready. This patch fixes a deadlock in an uninterruptible wait when the RTC is updated more than once every second. AFAICT the bug is here from the beginning, but I think we should at least backport this fix to 3.10 and the following longterm and stable releases.
