Hi All, I have a RX8900CE rtc, connected to the i2c bus of a raspberry pi. I've gotten a kernel module from the manufacturer of the chip [1][2], it's based on the kernel module for the RX-8025 [3]. I've compiled it with this makefile [4]: This all worked without any problem, in kernel 4.19.76 but in newer kernels the structure of the rtc drivers has changed. Has anybody already converted the RX8900CE driver to the new kernel interface? After I update the kernel module, what steps do I have to take so it can be included in the mainline kernel?
