RTC test that can be found in linux/Documentation/rtc.txt generally
hangs for malta boards.
Actually it waits for alarm interrupt that doesn't occure. Cause of
this - Date alarm setting is not supported in rtc.c driver API. Some
chips (e.g. Intel82371 Southbridge RTC) supports this feature and uses
control register D for setting day of month. Just write "don't care"
(==0) value to this register.
