[PATCH] pl031: Expose RTCICR as proper WC register

[Alexander Graf]

The current pl031 RTCICR register implementation always clears the IRQ
pending status on a register write, regardless of the value it writes.

To justify that behavior, it references the arm926e documentation
(DDI0287B) and indicates that said document states that any write clears
the internal IRQ state. I could however not find any text in that document
backing the statement. In fact, it explicitly says:

  "Writing 1 to bit 0 of RTCICR clears the RTCINTR flag."

which describes it as much as a write-to-clear register as the PL031 spec
(DDI0224) does:

  "Writing 1 to bit position 0 clears the corresponding interrupt.
   Writing 0 has no effect."

Let's remove the bogus comment and instead follow both specs to what they
say.
