The MC146818 driver is prone to read garbage from the RTC. There are
several issues all related to the update cycle of the MC146818. The chip
increments seconds obviously once per second and indicates that by a bit in
a register. The bit goes high 244us before the actual update starts. During
the update the readout of the time values is undefined.
The code just checks whether the update in progress bit (UIP) is set before
reading the clock. If it's set it waits arbitrary 20ms before retrying,
which is ample because the maximum update time is ~2ms.
But this check does not guarantee that the UIP bit goes high and the actual
update happens during the readout. So the following can happen
0.997 UIP = False
-> Interrupt/NMI/preemption
0.998 UIP -> True
0.999 Readout <- Undefined
To prevent this rework the code so it checks UIP before and after the
readout and if set after the readout try again.
But that's not enough to cover the following:
0.997 UIP = False
Readout seconds
-> NMI (or vCPU scheduled out)
0.998 UIP -> True
update completes
UIP -> False
1.000 Readout minutes,....
UIP check succeeds
That can make the readout wrong up to 59 seconds.
To prevent this, read the seconds value before the first UIP check,
validate it after checking UIP and after reading out the rest.
It's amazing that the original i386 code had this actually correct and
the generic implementation of the MC146818 driver got it wrong in 2002 and
it stayed that way until today.

When using following operations:
date -s "21190910 19:20:00"
hwclock -w
to change date from 2019 to 2119 for test, it will fail on Hygon
Dhyana and AMD Zen CPUs, while the same operations run ok on Intel i7
platform.
MC146818 driver use function mc146818_set_time() to set register
RTC_FREQ_SELECT(RTC_REG_A)'s bit4-bit6 field which means divider stage
reset value on Intel platform to 0x7.
While AMD/Hygon RTC_REG_A(0Ah)'s bit4 is defined as DV0 [Reference]:
DV0 = 0 selects Bank 0, DV0 = 1 selects Bank 1. Bit5-bit6 is defined
as reserved.
DV0 is set to 1, it will select Bank 1, which will disable AltCentury
register(0x32) access. As UEFI pass acpi_gbl_FADT.century 0x32
(AltCentury), the CMOS write will be failed on code:
CMOS_WRITE(century, acpi_gbl_FADT.century).
Correct RTC_REG_A bank select bit(DV0) to 0 on AMD/Hygon CPUs, it will
enable AltCentury(0x32) register writing and finally setup century as
expected.
Test results on Intel i7, AMD EPYC(17h) and Hygon machine show that it
works as expected.
Compiling for sparc64 and alpha architectures are passed.

Older versions of Libreboot and Coreboot had an invalid value
(`3' in my case) in the century byte affecting the GM45 in
the Thinkpad X200. Not everybody's updated their firmwares,
and Linux <= 4.2 was able to read the RTC without problems,
so workaround this by ignoring invalid values.

The mc146818_get_time/mc146818_set_time functions are rather large
inline functions in a global header file and are used in several
drivers and in x86 specific code.
Here we move them into a separate .c file that is compiled whenever
any of the users require it. This also lets us remove the linux/acpi.h
header inclusion from mc146818rtc.h, which in turn avoids some
warnings about duplicate definition of the TRUE/FALSE macros.
