<title>rtc: rework rtc_register_device() resource management</title>

rtc_register_device() is a managed interface but it doesn't use devres
by itself - instead it marks an rtc_device as "registered" and the devres
callback for devm_rtc_allocate_device() takes care of resource release.

This doesn't correspond with the design behind devres where managed
structures should not be aware of being managed. The correct solution
here is to register a separate devres callback for unregistering the
device.

While at it: rename rtc_register_device() to devm_rtc_register_device()
and add it to the list of managed interfaces in devres.rst. This way we
can avoid any potential confusion of driver developers who may expect
there to exist a corresponding unregister function.

rtc_nvmem_register() is a managed interface. It doesn't require any
release function to be called at driver detach. To avoid confusing
driver authors, let's rename it to devm_rtc_nvmem_register() and add it
to the list of managed interfaces in Documentation/.

The nvram sysfs attributes have been deprecated at least since v4.13, more
than 3 years ago and nobody ever complained about the deprecation warning.

Remove the sysfs attributes now.

The RTC core is always calling rtc_valid_tm after the read_time callback.
It is not necessary to call it just before returning from the callback.

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or

= NULL when no driver is bound").  Thus, it is not needed to manually
clear the device driver data to NULL.
