From: Denis Osterland <denis.osterl...@diehl.com>

This patches addresses following problem:
rtc_allocate_device
devm_device_add_group  <-- kernel oops / null pointer, because
                        sysfs entry does not yet exist
rtc_register_device
rc = devm_device_add_group
if (rc)
        return rc;     <-- forbidden to return error code
                        after device register

In case groups were not yet registered (kobj.state_in_sysfs == 0)
rtc_add_group just addes given group to dev.groups,
otherwise it uses devm_device_add_group.
