Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] rtc: efi: Transition to the faux device interface
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 17:01:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318-plat2faux_dev-v2-4-e6cc73f78478@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250318-plat2faux_dev-v2-0-e6cc73f78478@arm.com>

The EFI RTC driver does not require the creation of a platform device.
Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity when the driver was
first implemented.

With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the driver to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will simplify the code, reducing its footprint
while maintaining functionality.
