A fix for handling advertised, but non-existent 146818 RTCs correctly. With

the recent UIP handling changes the time readout of non-existent RTCs hangs
 forever as the read returns always 0xFF which means the UIP bit is
 set. Sanity check the RTC before registering by checking the RTC_VALID
 register for correctness.
