Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 8bb12adb214b2d7c ("rtc:
add HAS_IOPORT dependencies") upstream.

This driver can use either iomem or ioport.
By adding a dependency on HAS_IOPORT, it can no longer be used
on platforms that provide HAS_IOMEM only.

Probably the driver should be refactored to make it use only
the accessors that are available.
