In which case, just enable rtc.c ... a "egrep -r 'JS_RTC|js-rtc'"
shows that it looks pretty pointless.

Right, I looked at that a bit more.  The rtc-ds1302 code was
not written portably.   If it were updated to get addresses
from platform resources -- like *normal* platform drivers do,
since the addresses are platform specific -- and if those two
M32R platforms got updated ... *then* this could be deprecated.
