[Buildroot] [PATCH v1] busybox: Fix rtcwake to use /dev/rtc0 properly

rtcwake from busybox has failed in case the /dev/rtc is a symlink
(which is default case for udev enabled systems) due to wrong pathname
used for a sysfs wakeup attribute.

+Subject: [PATCH v1] libbb: Try /dev/rtc0 first followed by /dev/rtc
+
+In case we run
+
+% rtcwake -s5 -mmem
+
+in udev environment we will get an error:
+
+rtcwake: /dev/rtc not enabled for wakeup events
+
+because /dev/rtc is a symlink to /dev/rtc0 in Buildroot and other Linux
+distributions (like Fedora) and make_wakeup() obviously fails.
+
+As a quick fix just reorder probe of device nodes to try /dev/rtc0
+first.
+
+The proper solution, of course much expensive by code footprint,
+is to resolve /dev/rtc to a proper device node and then
+to follow sysfs attributes.
