Issue:
    - # hwclock -w
      hwclock: RTC_SET_TIME: Invalid argument

Why:
    - Relative commit: 8b9f9d4dc511309918c4f6793bae7387c0c638af, this patch
      will always check for unwritable registers, it will compare reg
      with max_register in regmap_writeable.

    - In drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf85363.c, CTRL_STOP_EN is 0x2e, but DT_100THS
      is 0, max_regiter is 0x2f, then reg will be equal to 0x30,
      '0x30 < 0x2f' is false,so regmap_writeable will return false.

    - The pcf85363/pcf85263 has the capability of address wrapping
      which means if you access a continuous address range across a
      certain boundary(max_register of struct regmap_config) the
      hardware actually wraps the access to a lower address. But the
      address violation check of regmap rejects such access.

How:
    - Split of writing regs to two parts, first part writes control
      registers about stop_enable and resets, second part writes
      RTC time and date registers.

Change in v4:
	- use old scheme
	- replace link to lkml.org with commit
	- add proper explanation

Change in v3:
	- replace old scheme with new scheme:
	  increase max_register.

Change in v2:
	- add Why and How into commit message.

nitpick: This 2 paragraphs could be combined to clear up the issue:

`
The pcf85363/pcf85263 has the capability of address wrapping
which means if you access an address outside the allowed range 
(0x00-0x2f) the hardware actually wraps the access to a lower address. 
The rtc-pf85363 driver will use this feature to configure the time and 
execute 2 actions in the same i2c write operation (stopping the clock 
and configure the time). However the driver has also configured the 
`regmap maxregister` protection mechanism that will block accessing 
addresses outside valid range (0x00-0x2f).
`

nitpick: I would also use separate buffers for this actions. Up to you :)

Otherwise LGTM +1

Thanks, it's a beautiful explanation.
