I think that Russell is correct - the RTC is just part of a Winbond 
multifunction chip. It has no special wake-up or alarm hooks (as far as 
I remember).

As to the patch: applied to 2.6.20-rc4, both on PC and ARM, commented 
out "EXPERIMENTAL"...

To build your new patch for ARM I have modified the line "depends on 
RTC_CLASS && (X86_PC || ACPI || ARM)"...

On Netwinder ARM - can not build (see: rtc_build.log)

OK, changed the include/asm/rtc.h to look like i386 == include 
asm-generic/rtc.h
Still does not build - see rtc_build2.log

Could you please check what other defs are missing on ARM?

Thanks, Woody

BTW. Current RTC is broken same way on Shark ARM as it is on Netwinder ARM:

>>>
<anderson@netsweng.com>
As for the RTC patch, it does work on the shark, and is needed.
<<<

So is there a reason to have RTC build blocked on all ARM?
