Subject: rtc: s3c: Add s3c_rtc_{enable/disable}_clk in s3c_rtc_setfreq()

From: Alim Akhtar <[email protected]>

commit 70c96dfac0e231424e17743bd52f6cd2ff1f2439 upstream.

As per code flow s3c_rtc_setfreq() will get called with rtc clock disabled and in set_freq we perform h/w registers read/write, which results in a kernel crash on exynos7 platform while probing rtc driver.
Below is code flow:
s3c_rtc_probe()
clk_prepare_enable(info->rtc_clk) // rtc clock enabled s3c_rtc_gettime() // will enable clk if not done, and disable it upon exit s3c_rtc_setfreq() //then this will be called with clk disabled

This patch take cares of such issue by adding s3c_rtc_{enable/disable}_clk in s3c_rtc_setfreq().
