David Brownell 743e6a504f rtc: file close() consistently disables repeating irqs
Make the rtc framework consistent about disabling 1/second update IRQs
that may have been activated through the /dev interface, when that /dev
file is closed.  (It may have closed because of coredump, etc.) This was
previously done only for emulated update IRQs ...  now, do it always.

Also comment the current policy: repeating IRQs (periodic, update) that
userspace enabled will be cleanly disabled, but alarms are left alone.
Such repeating IRQs are a constant and pointless system load.

Update some RTC drivers to remove now-needless release() methods.  Most
such methods just enforce that policy.  The others all seem to be buggy,
and mistreat in-kernel clients of periodic or alarm IRQs.

Steven Rostedt 9a0f4aea87 fix irq flags in rtc-ds1511
The file in drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1551.c uses "int" for flags.  This can cause
hard to find bugs on some architectures.  This patch converts the flags to use
"long" instead.

This bug was discovered by doing an allyesconfig make on the -rt kernel where
checks are done to ensure all flags are of size sizeof(long).

Kay Sievers ad28a07bca rtc: fix platform driver hotplug/coldplug
Since 43cc71eed1, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:".  Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable RTC
platform drivers, to re-enable module auto loading.
