rs5c313_rtc_init() calls platform_driver_register(), and initializes the
hardware. This is wrong because of two reasons:
1. As soon as the driver has been registered, the device may be
probed. If devm_rtc_device_register() is called before hardware
initialization, reading the current time will fail:
rs5c313 rs5c313: rs5c313_rtc_read_time: timeout error
rs5c313 rs5c313: registered as rtc0
rs5c313 rs5c313: rs5c313_rtc_read_time: timeout error
rs5c313 rs5c313: hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock
2. If the platform device does not exist, the driver will still write
to a hardware device that may not be present.
Fix this by moving the hardware initialization sequence to the driver's
.probe() method.
