Sorry, I hadn't been following the discussion closely, but could you explain why we are going from a generic framework where we hook in our platform specific part to a totally independent driver that has such an increase in code size.
Why couldn't you fix the generic part so that udev could load it automatically?
I much prefer to have this code in the platform support code as it was. It is much more effort (a pain) to maintain a separate driver were I have to cater to a subsystem's maintainer, and with this rtc it seems everyone who was using the generic PPC driver will need to do the same.
