    rtc: erase CMOS memory after power failure
    
    When a power failure happens on the RTC rail, the CMOS memory (including
    the RTC registers) is filled with garbage.
    So, we erase the full first bank (112 bytes) and we reset the RTC date
    to the build date.
    
    To test, disconnect the CMOS battery to produce an RTC power
    failure, then boot the machine and observe the RTC date is the build
    date using "cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/date"
