Hi,

That's mostly good

This allocation is not necessary and I would refer not having t so when
the ABI goes away, it is not necessary to change this driver.

You probably need something more descriptive, usually the rtc model name
else, it is difficult (but not impossible) to find where this nvmem is
actually located when using /sys/bus/nvmem/devices
isl12026- would be a good choice.

any reason to have it root only?

The probe function must not fail after rtc_register_device has been
called so you must return 0 here.

It is not currently possible to call rtc_nvmem_register before
rtc_register_device unless we move the nvmem to the parent device:

diff --git a/drivers/rtc/nvmem.c b/drivers/rtc/nvmem.c
index 3a02357eb783..17ec4c8d0fad 100644
--- a/drivers/rtc/nvmem.c
+++ b/drivers/rtc/nvmem.c
@@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ int rtc_nvmem_register(struct rtc_device *rtc,
        if (!nvmem_config)
                return -ENODEV;
 
-       nvmem_config->dev = &rtc->dev;
+       nvmem_config->dev = rtc->dev.parent;
        nvmem_config->owner = rtc->owner;
        rtc->nvmem = nvmem_register(nvmem_config);
        if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(rtc->nvmem))

I'll submit this patch for this cycle before there are many users of the
interface (converted drivers are still exposing the old ABI).

If you prefer, you can depend on it.
