Please remove the typedef and just use `enum ds1511reg' everywhere.

It's unusual (unique) to indent the function declaration by a single space
in this way.  Maybe an editor option which needs fixing?

Also, although there are good reasons to always put a newline after the
declaration of the return type, kernel code generally doesn't do that
except as a way of avoiding 80-col wraparound sometimes.

IOW, please use

static noinline void rtc_write(uint8_t val, uint32_t reg)
{


Why was this function declared noinline?

c99-style comments will generate checkpatch warnings.

Please run checkpatch.  It detects a lot of coding-style breakage in
this patch.

What's the story here?  This code is permanently disabled?

hm, that could be pretty obnoxious for some applications, I expect. 
They'll run veeeery sloooowly, and inconsistently slowly across different
values of CONFIG_HZ.  And the uninterruptible sleep will contribute to
system load average.

What's going on here?

Do other RTC drivers do things like this?

hm.  You appear to be a C precedence whizz ;)
