Declare 'decrementer_max' in powerpc asm/time.h.
Include linux/mc146818rtc.h in powerpc kernel/time.c where 'rtc_lock'
is declared. And remove duplicated declaration of 'rtc_lock' in powerpc
platforms/chrp/time.c because it has included linux/mc146818rtc.h.
Move 'dtl_consumer' definition behind "include <asm/dtl.h>" because it
is declared there.

V2:
- Instead of including linux/mc146818rtc.h in powerpc kernel/time.c, declare
   rtc_lock in powerpc asm/time.h.
V3:
- Recover to V1, that is including linux/mc146818rtc.h in powerpc
   kernel/time.c. And remove duplicated declaration of 'rtc_lock' in powerpc
   platforms/chrp/time.c because it has included linux/mc146818rtc.h.

I'm fine with that but I really think my suggestion to make the rtc_lock
local to the platforms was better because it is only used to synchronize
between concurrent invocations of chrp_set_rtc_time or
maple_set_rtc_time. The rtc core will never do that and the only case
would be concurrent calls to rtc_ops.set_time and
update_persistent_clock64 (which should also be removed at some point).

I agree but I think it must be done carefully. If the lock is local to the driver really and without a link with the RTC core, then the lock var should probably be static. But then we'll have name conflict with the global rtc_lock which is declared in <linux/mc146818rtc.h>

All this is not easy, and I like your idea in the other mail to really clean up the rtc core and remove this global rtc_lock completely.

For the time being I guess the fix provided by this patch is just semantic and is just fine as is, as there is no real bug behind the messages from sparse.
