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" Change-Id: I684bb3ad5079f96825555d4ed84dc0f7914e9884 Signed-off-by: Vincent Palatin <vpalatin@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1697 Reviewed-by: Marc Jones <marcj303@gmail.com> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins)
