I would also suggest splitting this huge patch into a series of several 
smaller, possibly:
1) Rename s5p-time to samsung-time (and correct any platforms using it 
currently)
2) Add samsung-time support for s3c24xx
3) Add samsung-time support for s3c64xx

What do you think?

Best regards,
Tomasz Figa
