drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.c: drivers/char/rtc.c features for DECstation support
This brings in drivers/char/rtc.c functionality required for DECstation and, should the maintainers decide to switch, Alpha systems to use rtc-cmos. Specifically these features are made available: * RTC iomem rather than x86/PCI port I/O mapping, controlled with the RTC_IOMAPPED macro as with the original driver. The DS1287A chip in all DECstation systems is mapped in the host bus address space as a contiguous block of 64 32-bit words of which the least significant byte accesses the RTC chip for both reads and writes. All the address and data window register accesses are made transparently by the chipset glue logic so that the device appears directly mapped on the host bus. * A way to set the size of the address space explicitly with the newly-added `address_space' member of the platform part of the RTC device structure. This avoids the unreliable heuristics that does not work in a setup where the RTC is not...
