Subject: [PATCH 00/11] RTC subsystem


Hello,

this release of the new RTC subsystem has got
a few locking issues fixed as well as new
drivers for the Ricoh RS5C372A/B and
Philips PCF8563/Epson RTC8564.

Detection routines have been improved
in some drivers, while some others now require
a specific probe parameter in order to
avoid spurious writes on I2C eeprom chips.

As usual, your feedback is highly appreciated.

are you planning on doing the updates for the
s3c2410-rtc.c driver?

Hi Ben,

I examined that driver some days ago and was going
to ask you if you can port it to the new subsystem.

The driver is well structured and and should be easy
to port. I will have no means to test it, but I'd
be happy to provide any support you'll need for
the conversion.
