That's true, but we would then have two generic frameworks. And one
of them will have its code scattered all around the kernel.

So you either use the old rtc framework, which is perfectly functional,
or you move to the new rtc lass and write the drivers.

Layering a generic framework over another generic framework
is quite a nonsense .
