[PATCH v1 1/2] rtc: cmos: Enable ACPI alarm if advertised in ACPI FADT

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael@kernel.org>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

If the ACPI_FADT_FIXED_RTC flag is unset, the platform is declaring that
it supports the ACPI RTC fixed event which should be used instead of a
dedicated CMOS RTC IRQ.  However, the driver only enables it when
is_hpet_enabled() returns true, which is questionable because there is
no clear connection between enabled HPET and signaling wakeup via the
ACPI RTC fixed event (for instance, the latter can be expected to work
on systems that don't include a functional HPET).

Moreover, since use_hpet_alarm() returns false if use_acpi_alarm is set,
the ACPI RTC fixed event is effectively used instead of the HPET alarm
if the latter is functional, but there is no particular reason why it
could not be used otherwise.

Accordingly, on x86 systems with ACPI, set use_acpi_alarm if
ACPI_FADT_FIXED_RTC is unset without looking at whether or not HPET is
enabled.

Also, do the ACPI FADT check in use_acpi_alarm_quirks() before the DMI
BIOS year checks which are more expensive and it's better to skip them
if ACPI_FADT_FIXED_RTC is set.
