Setting the alarm to a time not on a minute boundary results in repeated
interrupts being generated by the DA9052/3 PMIC device until the kernel
RTC core sees that the alarm has rung. Sometimes the number and frequency
of interrupts can cause the kernel to disable the IRQ line used by the
DA9052/3 PMIC with disasterous consequences. This patch fixes the problem.

Even though the DA9052/3 PMIC is capable generating periodic interrupts,
ie TICKS, the method used to distinguish RTC_AF from RTC_PF events was
flawed and can not work in conjunction with the regmap_irq kernel core.
Thus that flawed detection has also been removed by the DA9052/3 PMIC RTC
driver's irq handler, so that it no longer reports the wrong type of event
to the kernel RTC core.

The internal static functions within the DA9052/3 PMIC RTC driver have
been changed to pass the 'da9052_rtc' structure instead of the 'da9052'
because there is no backwards pointer from the 'da9052' structure.

This patch is relative to linux-next repository tag next-20140402

This patch fixes the three issues described above. The first is serious
because usiing the RTC alarm set to a non minute boundary will eventually
cause all component drivers that depend on the interrupt line to fail. The
solution adopted is to round up to alarm time to the next highest minute.

The second bug, reporting a RTC_PF event instead of an RTC_AF event turns
out to not matter with the current implementation of the kernel RTC core
as it seems to ignore the event type. However, should that change in the
future it is better to fix the issue now and not have 'problems waiting to
happen'

The third set of changes are to make the da9052_rtc structure available
to all the local internal functions in the driver. This was done during
testing so that diagnostic data could be stored there. Should the solution
to the first issue be found not acceptable, then the alternative of using
the TICKS interrupt at the fixed one second interval in order to step to
the exact second of the requested alarm requires an extra (alarm time)
piece of data to be stored. In devices that use the alarm function to wake
up from sleep, accuracy to the second will result in the device being
awake for up to nearly a minute longer than expected.

The above three paragraphs contained important info which is
