This fixes a couple of different problems, that can cause RTC (alarm) irqs to be missing when generating UIE interrupts.
The first commit fixes a long-standing problem, which has been documented in a comment since 2010. This fixes a race that could cause UIE irqs to stop being generated, which was easily reproduced by timing the use of RTC_UIE_ON ioctl with the seconds tick in the RTC.
The last commit ensures that RTC (alarm) irqs are enabled whenever RTC_UIE_ON ioctl is used.
The driver specific commits avoids kernel warnings about unbalanced enable_irq/disable_irq, which gets triggered on first RTC_UIE_ON with the last commit. Before this series, the same warning should be seen on initial RTC_AIE_ON with those drivers.
I don't have access to hardware using cpcap, st-lpc or tps6586x rtc drivers, so I have not been able to test those 3 patches.
