[PATCH 1/6] rtc: generic: allow building on all architectures

[PATCH 1/6] rtc: generic: allow building on all architectures

[Arnd Bergmann]

There are four architectures using this driver, but since we can
build it with COMPILE_TEST, we should try dealing with the absence
of the asm/rtc.h header file, to avoid getting a build error:

drivers/rtc/rtc-generic.c:12:21: fatal error: asm/rtc.h: No such file or directory

This creates an alternative use of the driver, allowing architectures
to pass a set of rtc_class_ops in platform data. We can convert the
four architectures to use this and then remove the original
code.

I hope no compiler version treats "&*(struct rtc_class_ops*)NULL" as
undefined behavior?

It's a bit odd, but I think it's syntactically correct C, and not
much too different from 

#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)  ((size_t)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)

is it? My last patch gets rid of it again.

Yes, that is guaranteed, the operations cancel each other (6.5.3.2#3: If
the operand is the result of a unary * operator, neither that operator
nor the & operator is evaluated and the result is as if both were
omitted).

[PATCH 2/6] m68k: rtc: provide rtc_class_ops directly

[Arnd Bergmann]

The rtc-generic driver provides an architecture specific
wrapper on top of the generic rtc_class_ops abstraction,
and m68k has another abstraction on top, which is a bit
silly.

This changes the m68k rtc-generic device to provide its
rtc_class_ops directly, to reduce the number of layers
by one.

[PATCH 4/6] parisc: rtc: provide rtc_class_ops directly

[Arnd Bergmann]

The rtc-generic driver provides an architecture specific
wrapper on top of the generic rtc_class_ops abstraction,
and on pa-risc, that is implemented using an open-coded
version of rtc_time_to_tm/rtc_tm_to_time.

This changes the parisc rtc-generic device to provide its
rtc_class_ops directly, using the normal helper functions,
which makes this y2038 safe (on 32-bit) and simplifies
the implementation.
