Drivers for the mc146818 RTC generally check control registers to determine whether a value is encoded as binary or as a binary coded decimal. Setting RTC_ALWAYS_BCD to 1 effectively bypasses these checks and causes drivers to always expect binary coded decimal values, regardless of control register values. This does not seem like a sane default - defaulting to 0 allows the drivers to check control registers to determine encoding type & allows the driver to work generically with both binary & BCD encodings. Set this in mach-generic/mc146818rtc.h such that the generic kernel, or platforms which don't provide a custom mc146818rtc.h, can have an RTC driver which works with both encodings.
