Subject: [patch] provide rtc_cmos platform device

Hello.

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed
that RTC no longer works for me.
It turned out this is because I use
pnpacpi=off kernel option to work
around the parport_pc bugs.
I always did so, but RTC used to work
fine in the past, and now it have
regressed.

The attached patch fixes the problem
by creating the platform device for
the RTC when PNP is disabled.
This may also help running the
PNP-enabled kernel on an older PCs.
