Subject: [PATCH 0/7] rtc-cmos: private locking and MMIO support
The original PC-style CMOS RTC driver is so weird and full of hacks
that it has reached the status of a major piece of art.
Despite noticeable efforts to carry on with the spirit of tainting
every architecture under the sun, this patch series tries to make the
rtc-cmos driver a slightly better citizen by allowing architecture
code *not* to provide an exported lock when it is not strictly
required, and to allow for MMIO accessors on architectures that don't
have IO ports.
Please have a bucket ready.
The actual goal of the exercise is to allow the use of the RTC
emulation provided by kvmtool in KVM/ARM guests. This series has also
been tested on x86.

rtc-cmos: abstract locking primitives
rtc-cmos: allow MMIO to be used when initialized from FDT
rtc-cmos: allow strictly MMIO based configurations
rtc-cmos: implement driver private locking
ARM: rtc: update CMOS RTC to support MMIO and private lock
arm64: rtc: plug the PC CMOS RTC using MMIO accessors
