Hi Alexandre,

Something similar is being discussed for the OnKey component of the DA9062.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/24/304

It is only the OnKey and RTC components that are similar to the DA9063 chip
and I was hoping to keep the 62 RTC separate in this case ... however it should
definitely be possible to re-use the DA9063 RTC driver if this is your requirement.
If this will block my submission of the DA9062 then I will drop the RTC from my
next patch set and try to re-work the existing 63 RTC driver accordingly.

I think this sort of thing has been done before:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/rtc/rtc-pm8xxx.c
 ... at first glance -- it seems to support that sort of thing.

I guess it would be possible to rename the da9063-rtc to something more sensible like
da9xxx-rtc.c if this goes ahead?

Regards,
Steve
