Testing this patch with PATCH 1/2, the twl_rtc driver fails to correctly
initialize on OMAP3:

         twl_rtc rtc.22: hctosys: invalid date/time

instead of the expected result:

          twl_rtc rtc.22: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (946684800)

so something is still not right for the init sequence.
