The recent fix for handling the UIP bit unearthed another issue in the RTC code. If the RTC is advertised but the readout is straight 0xFF because it's not available, the old code just proceeded with crappy values, but the new code hangs because it waits for the UIP bit to become low. Add a sanity check in the RTC CMOS probe function which reads the RTC_VALID register (Register D) which should have bit 0-6 cleared. If that's not the case then fail to register the CMOS. Add the same check to mc146818_get_time(), warn once when the condition is true and invalidate the rtc_time data.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
