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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
