Sorry for the confusion with my replies to the other patch. The 
Thunderbird on the used box got confused or confused me ("reply to list" 
just replied to the rtc-list and "reply to all" didn't add the the 
sender (Roman Fietze) to recipients. :/

Anyway, I think the whole rtcN mechanism is broken as you never can be 
sure which driver/RTC gets which N without testing every built kernel.

I've fixed that with the already mentioned patches here:

Besides that, I wish you luck with your patches. ;)
