While looking into creating separate rtc-msm6242 (`A2000 RTC') and rtc-rp5c01
(`A3000 RTC') drivers, as per current RTC policy, I browsed through the various
Amiga schematics to identify RTC chips.

Surprisingly, I discovered a Ricoh RP5C01 (not an Oki MSM6242) on the A1200
schematics:
http://www.symbolengine.com/index.php/2007/04/21/amiga-1200-schematics-in-pdf-format/
Hence does arch/m68k/amiga/config.c:amiga_identify() handle the A1200
incorrectly?

It also seems the CDTV has a builtin MSM6242, while the CD32 hasn't any RTC,
like A1000/A500/A600. So ideally, we have to probe for RTC presence. I guess
for the MSM6242 we can use the existing loop (timeout = no MSM6242). What about
the RP5C01?
