CONFIG_GEN_RTC is not enabled in any of the m68k defconfigs, so I think genrtc
has been unused for a while.
All defconfigs either use CONFIG_RTC_DRV_GENERIC, or enable a more specific
RTC driver.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
