I got my board equipped with Epson's RX-8025 SA/NB RTC module.
I managed to get it working with a few hacks to a 8564 RTC driver
from  Stefan Eletzhofer This RTC module is also from Epson.
So far everything works fine. I don't really know why board designers
decided for it but I suppose the main concern was price.  :D
