Sure. Tell me when you have something and I will give them a spin on the 
robot.

That would be nice. We only rely on this MC13783 RTC, so if we can get 
it into mainline it would be great for us.

Another thing is the RGB led support. We have two of these leds on our 
robot. Is anyone else using them ? Has someone already worked on them ? 
The support should not be very hard to add now that we have MC13783 core 
support and since there is a LED class. The only API change to led would 
be to add RGB support, which is not present now. Any comments on this ?
