I have tested your patches (taken your mc13783 branch today, and merged 
it into my patches rebased on 2.6.32-rc6).

Your mfd/mc13783 rewrite seems to work for me (but since there is no 
real usage for now, I don't use ADC yet and regulator don't do a lot). 
But it runs fine on my hardware.

However, I get the hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock error 
message at boot (from drivers/rtc/hctosys.c:62). Is it normal ?

Furthermore, the date and time are saved during system off, but the time 
is not updated: if I shut down the system during 10 minutes, my time 
will get a 10 minute delay. Is this a normal behavior with you current 
implementation or is there something we have wrong in our design/code 
(we have battery for the mc13783) ? I will have a further look at this 
later, didn't have time now.
