Masahiro Yamada 82cecfce3f drivers: s3c44b0_rtc: delete an unused driver
Since commit 5dc5f36 removed B2 board support,
there are no boards enabling s3c44b0_rtc.

=============================
RTC device subsystem analysis
=============================

I) Overview
-----------
U-Boot currently implements one common API for RTC devices. The interface
is defined in include/rtc.h and comprises of functions and structures:
struct rtc_time {
int tm_sec;
int tm_min;
int tm_hour;
int tm_mday;
int tm_mon;
int tm_year;
int tm_wday;
int tm_yday;
int tm_isdst;
};
int rtc_get (struct rtc_time *);
int rtc_set (struct rtc_time *);
void rtc_reset (void);
The functions are implemented by a proper device driver in drivers/rtc
directory and the driver to be compiled in is selected in a Makefile.
Drivers are mutually exclusive.
Drivers depends on date code in drivers/rtc/date.c and naturally on board
specific data.
II) Approach
------------
1) New API
----------
In the UDM each rtc driver would register itself by a function
int rtc_device_register(struct instance *i,
struct rtc_device_ops *o);
The structure being defined as follows:
struct rtc_device_ops {
int (*get_time)(struct instance *i, struct rtc_time *t);
int (*set_time)(struct instance *i, struct rtc_time *t);
int (*reset)(struct instance *i);
};
2) Conversion thougths
----------------------
U-Boot RTC drivers exports the same functions and therefore the conversion
of the drivers is straight-forward. There is no initialization needed.
