Actually, it should be /dev/rtc0 (according to my Debian system)
and you can find out the correct major number like this:

root@ara5:~ # ll /dev/rtc*
crw------- 1 root root 254, 0 Dec 26 16:48 /dev/rtc0
root@ara5:~ # fgrep rtc /proc/devices
254 rtc

This is auto-created from devtmpfs (no udev here), FWIW.
My ARAnyM command line contains devtmpfs.mount=1 coupled
with a few lines in /etc/rc.local:

(test -e /dev/fd || ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd || :)
(test -e /dev/stdin || ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin || :)
(test -e /dev/stdout || ln -s /proc/self/fd/1 /dev/stdout || :)
(test -e /dev/stderr || ln -s /proc/self/fd/2 /dev/stderr || :)
