Seems somewhat tenuous. > My understanding is that lsmod output doesn't show any dependency of the rtc driver upon ic2_tegra or tps6586_regulator, but all theses modules are appropriately loaded and hwclock -rf /dev/rtc0 shows the right time after a cold boot with the current kernel. Adding theses modules within the initramfs only allows the rtc driver to be loaded bellow 1sec too late, and as soon as there is no option for the kernel to delay the rtc clock read, the rtc driver cannot win the race when built as a module. There are probably others rtc modules in that situation.
