It gets uglier and uglier.  So if that abortion is really
needed, it'd make more sense to rename the MOSTEK code.
If that's not fixed, its Kconfig should mention needing
the JS_RTC thing instead of the "real" legacy rtc.c ...

Glad I got rid of my JavaStation ages ago, but I liked
the idea of having a real builtin coffee cup holder.  :)


You see why nobody wants to touch the legacy RTC stuff?
Some of it is broken *BY DESIGN* instead of just by
pure happenstance of evolution.
