You don't seem to be using rtcclk, I would remove it from the example.

Isn't that done automatically for an unused clock? However, I would do
that in the probe as you will have to sprinkle some #ifdef
CONFIG_COMMON_CLK after seeing the kbuild report.

You probably need to unregister the clock at some point. Maybe using
devm_clk_register() is the best thing to do.
