It cannot without breaking bisectability. The RTC series adds IRQ support in
the PMIC which is used here.

So, I resend the RC5T619 RTC series mentioned above as you answered
upont Nikolaus question and wait with this series until review is
through.
Ok, so wait and rebase it onto 5.7-rc1 or 5.8-rc1 or whatever release
the RTC stuff will appear.
So you are not going to create an ib-mfd-rtc-iio branch.
