SubjectRe: [TEST PATCH] rtc: convert ds1307 to interim probe_new

OK, so I assumed correctly that userspace instantiation wouldn't have
worked fully.

I think we *need* that. We can't instantiate my previous example via
userspace otherwise. Also, stripping vendor names is what we want to get
rid of with this series, no?
