 I'd start writing a working driver and then see how we should eventually
 adapt the rtc subsystem to cope with your needs.

OK, so here's a first example: rtc-ps3.

Note that this single patch adds 100+ lines of code, while my previous patch
series removed 500+ lines of code, while solving the autoloading problem for
several ppc and m68k platforms.

 This patch has a much cleaner approach, imho.

Converting all (ca. 20?) ppc and m68k RTC support code into individual RTC
class drivers would add ca. 100+ lines of code for each individual driver.



 How different are all of those boards? It's simply a matter
 of parameters and offsets? can we group them somehow?
