These functions are very useful for drivers wich need acces to the rtc. The new rtc-system (rtc-cmos) is missing these functions. As I found out, some drivers especially within the sound area are using the functionality, so they won't load anymore! (sound/core/rtctimer.c) Is there a way around with the new system or is it planned to reactivate these functionality. Actually, I have to rmove rtc_cmos and load the old rtc, to get my drivers working.
