110d693d58 [PATCH] rtc subsystem: add capability checks
Centralize CAP_SYS_XXX checks to avoid duplicate code and missing checks in
the drivers.

655066c383 [PATCH] RTC: rtc-dev UIE emulation
Import genrtc's RTC UIE emulation (CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X) to rtc-dev driver with
slight adjustments/refinements.  This makes UIE-less rtc drivers work
better with programs doing read/poll on /dev/rtc, such as hwclock.  This
emulation should not harm rtc drivers with UIE support, since
rtc_dev_ioctl() calls underlaying rtc driver's ioctl() first.

b3969e5831 [PATCH] rtc subsystem: use ENOIOCTLCMD and ENOTTY where appropriate
Appropriately use -ENOIOCTLCMD and -ENOTTY when the ioctl is not
implemented by a driver.

(akpm: we're not allowed to return -ENOIOCTLCMD to userspace.  This patch does
the right thing).

3418ff7611 [PATCH] RTC: rtc-dev tweak for 64-bit kernel
Make rtc-dev work well on 64-bit platforms with 32-bit userland.  On those
platforms, users might try to read 32-bit integer value.  This patch make
rtc-dev's read() work well for both "int" and "long" size.  This tweak is came
from genrtc driver.

e824290e5d [PATCH] RTC subsystem: dev interface
Add the dev interface to the RTC subsystem.

Each RTC will be available under /dev/rtcX .  A symlink from /dev/rtc0 to
/dev/rtc cab be obtained with the following udev rule:

KERNEL=="rtc0", SYMLINK+="rtc"
