RTC: Add rtc-omap
This creates a new RTC-framework driver for the RTC/calendar module
found in various OMAP chips, giving a more correct/standard replacement
for the older drivers/char/omap-rtc.c driver. Differences include:
- much smaller/simpler, because it reuses shared infrastructure
- the RTC name will normally be "rtc0" not "rtc"
- the /dev node has a different major and minor numbers
- RTC_ALM_SET handled as on PCs (alarm within 24 hours)
- RTC_WKALM_SET handled as on PCs (alarm within this century)
- epoch not changeable (why bother)
- rtc alarm may optionally be a system wakeup event (board-specific)
If you use udev and statically link this, some init script can just create
a symbolic link (rtc -> rtc0) so tools like "hwclock" will work as usual.
Or, updates to hwclock (and busybox) are available which teach it to use
the /dev/rtc0 path as a backup, and to support "hwclock --file=/dev/rtc0".
