What I wonder about this series is how much
larger it makes a typical kernel and how
often multiple rtc clocks are built for a
single kernel?

What is the size impact on an embedded kernel
that uses a single rtc driver?

trivia:

Aren't there also uses of struct tm that are
nearly identical?

e.g.: drivers/usb/host/xhci-tegra.c
