Summary: Wildcards in RTC alarm settings failed to work
Description:
The RTC has provision for wildcards when setting the alarm; to
use them you have to write a value higher than 0xc0 to the
appropriate hr/min/sec entry. The driver used 0xff, which is
fine, but it mistakenly fed the 0xff through BIN_TO_BCD before
writing them (which is < 0xc0) and so wildcards didn't work.
(Thanks to Gerhard Kurz for reporting the bug.)
