As the comment explains, the intention of the code is to clear the
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_MODE_12_24 bit, but instead it only clears the
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_SPLIT and OMAP_RTC_CTRL_AUTO_COMP bits, which should be
kept. OMAP_RTC_CTRL_DISABLE, OMAP_RTC_CTRL_SET_32_COUNTER,
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_TEST, and OMAP_RTC_CTRL_ROUND_30S are also better off
being cleared.

Decisions need to be made about which kernel version(s) this should be
merged into.  To make and support those decisions we need to know the
user-visible effects of the bug.  But the changelog is silent on this
important thing.

What were the user-visible effects of the bug?

The contents of the control register is undefined after a complete power
loss. On our board the RTC has been observed to sometimes power up with the
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_SET_32_COUNTER bit being set, which stops the clock.
