So it would seem..

I know absolutely nothing about the driver model (let alone C or kernel voodo in general) and have
been investigating Documentation/driver-model. Would I be close if I were to suggest this needs to
be a platform_driver? I'll certainly have a crack at it if I'm on the right track.

I've been having a look at some of the other drivers that use platform_driver however I'm a bit
stumped at how I go about iterating through the various sparc buses using the platform_driver
resource allocation functions.

#ifdef __sparc__
struct linux_ebus *ebus;
struct linux_ebus_device *edev;
#ifdef __sparc_v9__
struct sparc_isa_bridge *isa_br;
struct sparc_isa_device *isa_dev;
#endif
#endif

Or, do I just dodgy it up as the rtc is a legacy device, and leave the probe/allocation code alone
and just add the pm stuff?
