I was wrong and
commit d2a632a8a117 ("rtc: mc146818-lib: reduce RTC_UIP polling period") is
included in 6.1.y anyway (was merged before 6.1-rc1), does not have to be
mentioned in the line above.

This warning message is difficult to understand for someone that is not familiar
with
the code / MC146818 documentation.
"Reading current time from RTC took around %d ms" would be better.
