I'm not sure about this one: it's still possible to turn off
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_GENERIC
on M68KCLASSIC, and in that case we still need a read_persistent_clock64()
implementation. Or we use your patch but make CONFIG_RTC_DRV_GENERIC
mandatory.

See below for a version I did a while ago (but never submitted as I got
distracted).

    m68k: use read_persistent_clock64 consistently

    We have two ways of getting the current time from a platform at boot
    or during suspend: either using read_persistent_clock() or the rtc
    class operation. We never need both, so I'm hiding the
    read_persistent_clock variant when the generic RTC is enabled.

    Since read_persistent_clock() and mktime() are deprecated because of
    the y2038 overflow of time_t, we should use the time64_t based
    replacements here.

    Finally, the dependency on CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET looks
    completely bogus in this case, so let's remove that. It was
    added in commit b13b3f51ff7b ("m68k: fix inclusion of
    arch_gettimeoffset for non-MMU 68k classic CPU types") to deal
    with arch_gettimeoffset(), which has since been removed from
    this file and is unrelated to the RTC functions.

    The rtc accessors are only used by classic machines, while
    coldfire uses proper RTC drivers, so we can put the old
    ifdef back around both functions.
