    [POWERPC] Enable RTC for Ebony and Walnut (v2) · 22258fa4
    David Gibson authored
    This patch extends the Ebony and Walnut platform code to instantiate
    the existing ds1742 RTC class driver for the DS1743 RTC/NVRAM chip
    found on both those boards.  The patch uses a helper function to scan
    the device tree and instantiate the appropriate platform_device based
    on it, so it should be easy to extend for other boards which have mmio
    mapped RTC chips.
    
    Along with this, the device tree binding for the ds1743 chips is
    tweaked, based on the existing DS1385 OF binding found at:
    	http://playground.sun.com/1275/proposals/Closed/Remanded/Accepted/346-it.txt
    Although that document covers the NVRAM portion of the chip, whereas
    here we're interested in the RTC portion, so it's not entirely clear
    if that's a good model.
    
    This implements only RTC class driver support - that is /dev/rtc0, not
    /dev/rtc, and the low-level get/set time callbacks remain
    unimplemented.  That means in order to get at the clock you will
    either need a modified version of hwclock which will look at
    /dev/rtc0, or you'll need to configure udev to symlink rtc0 to rtc.
