I wrote RTC layer drivers on sparc64 that make the firmware calls in the Niagara system case, exactly like your case. Really, this is the way to do this. Since you're not reading what I implemented, I'll read it for you :-/ See drivers/rtc/rtc-sun4v.c, that's the driver Code in arch/sparc64/kernel/time.c creates and registers the appropriate platform_device object once the correct system type is detected, and then rtc-sun4v.c attaches when such objects have been registered. Likewise for all the other RTC types that can be found on Sparc machines. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
