This patch does fix the stated problem, but in my testing on an AT91SAM9G25 platform the system would not boot up after a power cycle if the RTC backup battery was in place.  This second patch is needed to fix the second issue:

I then applied the second patch I linked to above and my system would then boot up after a power cycle without issue every time.  So I would suggest only applying this patch to 3.10-stable, 3.14-stable and 3.15-stable if the "ARM: at91: fix at91_sysirq_mask_rtc for sam9x5 SoCs" patch linked to above is applied in the same series.

Thanks, I've applied the above patch to the tree as well.
