Most of this is addressed in the patch series starting with this message:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-December/047382.html

The pcf8563 driver is converted to the new format and is modified to
pick up it's address from the device tree.

This patch series is being held waiting for an ok on the low level
changes to the i2c subsystem. Hopefully it will go into 2.6.25
