Hi All,

This is an untested prototype (hence v0), so please take it with a grain of
salt.  It is posted mostly to illustrate a point made in the discussion
regarding the RTC class interface at:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rtc/DGKTYBF8G6KI.3Q96DGYKYHAFO@kernel.org/T/#r49e1d3b1f47101a1240158f4e18d02e3e0c8b75b

The first 4 patches are assorted improvements of the ACPI TAD driver,
patch [5/6] adds an RTC class device interface to it and patch [6/6]
simply updates the driver description (no functional changes).

Thanks!
