mc146818_get_time() calls mc146818_avoid_UIP() to avoid fetching the time while RTC update is in progress (UIP). When this fails, the return code is -EIO, but actually there was no IO failure. The reason for the return from mc146818_avoid_UIP() is that the UIP wasn't cleared in the time period. Adjust the return code to -ETIMEDOUT to match the behavior.
