Subject: RTC_CLASS is still considered as EXPERIMENTAL?

The generic RTC subsystem was added to kernel 2.6.17 which was
released a years ago. Since then, many drivers were added to the
subsystem without major API changes, I think.

It is mature enough to remove EXPERIMENTAL label from RTC_CLASS, isn't
it?

RTC class is mature enough.

Thanks. I suppose this helps dropping CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL from some
defconfigs.
