Hi Paul,
In fact these config options are flagged as being useless for !DT. As
the modifications of this Kconfig (in a "drivers" branch) and the
removal of !DT boards (in a "cleaup" branch) will happen in 3.19, I was
planning to come back to these 2 options by removing them later in order
to avoid to solve a merge conflict.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/drivers/rtc/Kconfig?id=3969eb48ad7f3f3bef61f5474b7214e601fd2d75
As you can see in the commit above, they have been properly tagged by Boris.
So, I suggest to get rid of them during 3.19-rc phase.
Thanks, bye.
