Hi,
this patch introduces I2C support to the RX6110 RTC driver and also adds
an ACPI identifier to it.
Since we are also pushing the coreboot changes for the ACPI table
upstream in parallel, we are free to name this ACPI entry however we
like it seems. So any feedback on that would be welcome ;)
kind regards,
Claudius

The RX6110 also supports I2C, so this patch adds support for it to the
driver.
This also renames the SPI specific functions and variables to include
`_spi_` in their names.

This allows the RX6110 driver to be automatically assigned to the right

I don't care too much about ACPI so if you are really looking for advice
there, I guess you should ask seom of the ACPI guys (but I guess you are
free to choose whatever you want).

I would prefer if you could have a common function doing the RTC
registration and init for both i2c and spi. It wouldn't do much yet but
ideally, it would set the RTC range too and it would be better to not
have to duplicate that.

As Henning said, we are also getting feedback from the coreboot people.
See you hopefully soon again, when all this sitting at home is over.

I can't really comment on the patch, however another part is worrying:
if VLF is set, coreboot is resetting the time to a valid value (user
defined or the build date). This is nasty because this hides the event
from the kernel and ulimately, userspace has no way of knowing whether
the RTC date is the real date or just a dummy date.
