[PATCH 6/6] RTC: Trivially probe for an M41T80 (#2)

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

 When probing the driver try to access the device with a read to one of
its registers and exit silently if the read fails.  This is so that boards
may register this device unconditionally and do not trigger error messages
at the bootstrap, where there is no other way to determine if an
M41T80-class RTC is actually there.
