The patch discussed (but not yet submitted) would remove all code
currently hidden behind
    #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M5441x)

in the kernel tree. Now, I'm guessing the (new) code you're working on
doesn't care about CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M5441x. So chances are you could not
care less if that code gets removed.
