provide rtc_cmos platform device

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me.  It
turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
the parport_pc bugs.  I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
past, and now it have regressed.

The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled.  This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
on an older PCs.
