Specifically, Hi Simon, the proposal actually had a fully-working patch attached :) > - which functions do you believe to be generic, > - how should multiple RTCs be handled, In my code, the first rtc that register is bound to /proc/driver/rtc and /dev/rtc (if those interfaces are compiled in, as they are all selectable).

You have full control of which functions you will provide to the upper layer. Obivously if you try to set the time on a read-only rtc, you will get an error. > At present, I don't have time to help the cause, but I can provide > hosting for a git tree if desired. Thanks, I'll consider it if the need arises. -- Best regards, Alessandro Zummo, Tower Technologies - Turin, Italy http://www.towertech.it
