[ Upstream commit c8fa17d9f08a448184f03d352145099b5beb618e ]

If the irqwork is still scheduled or running while the RTC device is
removed, a use-after-free occurs in rtc_timer_do_work().  Cleanup the
timerqueue and ensure the work is stopped to fix this.

Add a new feature for RTCs able to correct the oscillator imprecision. This
is also called offset or trimming. Such drivers have a .set_offset callback,
use that to set the feature bit from the core.

If dev_set_name() fails, dev_name() is null, it causes null-ptr-deref,

I got a null-ptr-deref report when doing fault injection test:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000022: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000110-0x0000000000000117]

If cdev_device_add() fails, 'dev-&gt;p' is not set, it causes
null-ptr-deref when calling cdev_device_del(). Registering
character device is optional, we don't return error code
here, so introduce a new flag 'RTC_NO_CDEV' to indicate
if it has character device, cdev_device_del() is called
when this bit is not set.

Introduce a bitfield to allow the drivers to announce the available
features for an RTC.

The main use case would be to better handle alarms, that could be present
or not or have a minute resolution or may need a correct week day to be set.

Use the newly introduced RTC_FEATURE_ALARM bit to then test whether alarms
are available instead of relying on the presence of ops-&gt;set_alarm.

Since the rtc_register_device, removing an RTC device will end with a
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free warning since put_device is called
twice in the device tear down path.

The current RTC set_offset_nsec value is not really intuitive to
understand. 

  tsched       twrite(t2.tv_sec - 1) 	 t2 (seconds increment)

The offset is calculated from twrite based on the assumption that t2 -
twrite == 1s. That means for the MC146818 RTC the offset needs to be
negative so that the write happens 500ms before t2.

It's easier to understand when the whole calculation is based on t2. That
avoids negative offsets and the meaning is obvious:

 t2 - twrite:     The time defined by the chip when seconds increment
      		  after the write.

 twrite - tsched: The time for the transport to the point where the chip
 	  	  is updated. 

==&gt; set_offset_nsec =  t2 - tsched
    ttransport      =  twrite - tsched
    tRTCinc         =  t2 - twrite
==&gt; set_offset_nsec =  ttransport + tRTCinc

tRTCinc is a chip property and can be obtained from the data sheet.

ttransport depends on how the RTC is connected. It is close to 0 for
directly accessible RTCs. For RTCs behind a slow bus, e.g. i2c, it's the
time required to send the update over the bus. This can be estimated or
even calibrated, but that's a different problem.

Adjust the implementation and update comments accordingly.
