RTC: Revert UIE emulation removal
Uwe pointed out that my alarm based UIE emulation is not sufficient to replace the older timer/polling based UIE emulation on devices where there is no alarm irq. This causes rtc devices without alarms to return -EINVAL to UIE ioctls. The fix is to re-instate the old timer/polling method for devices without alarm irqs. This patch reverts the following commits: 042620a018afcfba1d678062b62e46 - Remove UIE emulation 1daeddd5962acad1bea55e524fc0fa - Cleanup removed UIE emulation declaration b5cc8ca1c9c3a37eaddf709b2fd3e1 - Remove Kconfig symbol for UIE emulation The emulation mode will still need to be wired-in with a following patch before it will work.
