Great to hear! Thanks for testing!

Yes. With the generic code emulating PIE mode interrupts with an
hrtimer, instead of having it be driver triggered, its not something the
driver can control. So dropping the PIE control in the rtc-test driver
seems like the right approach.

Alessandro: Does this sound ok to you?

Great. I'll add it to the follow on cleanup patches to remove dead code
that I'll be working on getting in my queue today.
