In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will result in inb()/outb() and friends
not being declared. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for
those drivers using them.

Did you check that this will not break platforms that doesn't have RTC_PORT defined?


From what I can tell the CMOS_READ() macro this driver relies on uses
some form of inb() style I/O port access in all its definitions. So my
understanding is that this device is always accessed via I/O ports even
if the variants differ slightly and would make no sense on a platform
without any way of accessing I/O ports which is what lack of HAS_IOPORT
means. From what I can see even without RTC_PORT being defined the
CMOS_READ is still used. Hope that answers your question?

I think the m68k/atari and mips/dec variants don't necessarily
qualify as PIO, those are really just pointer dereferences, and
they don't use the actual inb/outb functions.

On atari, it looks like HAS_IOPORT may be set if ATARI_ROM_ISA
is, but on dec it's never enabled.

Atari does not use RTC_DRV_CMOS, but still relies on generic RTC
instead.

Last time (in 2013?) I tried converting to RTC_DRV_CMOS by registering
an "rtc_cmos" platform device, I couldn't get it to work.
