Fix writing to NVRAM bank 2 in rtc-cmos driver. It never worked since its
introduction in 2.6.28 because of a typo.

Strange. Can you suggest why this bug has lived for so long without anyone
noticing it?

Probably because nobody uses it. It's hidden in sysfs
(/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/device/nvram) and there's another (old) module "nvram"
that does (mostly) the same thing (except there's no bank 2 support).
