PATCH: Allow reading CMOS day of week register

[Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>]

Someone wanted access to this usually unused (and unused by Linux) value
for the day of week. Existing kernels have the field in the struct but
return 0 always. This updates the kernel to fill in the field. The usual
case of 'not set' conveniently is 0.
