rtc-generic is already in the kernel, it's just called rtc-parisc ;-)
Really? I never saw it :)
But I'd strongly suggest to plan and execute a conversion process.So would you accept a patch series that: 1. Adds the missing module aliases to rtc-parisc (which is a bugfix), 2. Moves the platform device creation out of rtc-ppc and into arch-specific code (which is also a bugfix), 3. Consolidates rtc-parisc and rtc-ppc into rtc-generic (which is a cleanup), 4. Makes rtc-generic dependent on PARISC, PPC, and M68K (the existing [sg]et_rtc_time() users): a. without introducing ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_RTC, b. with a big fat warning in the Kconfig comment not relaxing the dependencies, as it's supposed to go away. 4. Converts the PS3 RTC support into a separate driver, called rtc-ps3 (as a bonus ;-) ? If yes, I'll cook it up. Other RTC platform support can be converted into separate drivers later.
Seems reasonable. But please add a list of users of rtc-generic and information about their respective rtc hardware along with some general planning about which future driver would cover which users. And let's hope this is a beginning :) -- Best regards, Alessandro Zummo, Tower Technologies - Torino, Italy http://www.towertech.it -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
