#define RTC_ALWAYS_BCD 1 is there since Linux 1.0 and got never
changed for x86.

So the warning comes a bit late :)

Later on the #ifdef RTC_PORT was introduced to share the header in
include/linux across architectures. When the header got copied to
include/i386 and elsewhere this just was never removed.
