This patch have something wrong.
1.The pxa_sync_time API is not needed. The RTC sync can be done
by user space applications, so in kernel this API is not needed.
2.The pxa_rtc_open can not be deleted. This change has been
declined during review at the mail list
3.Based on specification and talked with owner of driver, it
does not matter to set WOM and DOW.

Only need to keep PSBR control for pxa95x

This reverts commit 57489fabb7f3fc02483df2125fdbfb8b1bb1fcd8.
This commit doesn't exist in Linus's tree. Maybe in linux-next ?

Anyway, as you are reverting, please consider this :
the commit that exists is : c4243de70f7d536d95196b8a31539298bb15238c
"drivers/rtc/rtc-pxa.c: drivers/rtc/rtc-pxa.c: fix alarm not match issue".

This commit should be reverted :
 - because it's wrong :
   > tm->tm_wday = ((rycr & RDxR_DOW_MASK) >> RDxR_DOW_S) - 1;
   See how RYCR is used with a RDCR mask ...

 - because as maintainer I have already nacked this kind of patch :
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1819851/
   The reasons given here are still valid AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure I didn't receive this patch in my mailbox. After I refused
ChaoXie first patch, the second "same approach" patch from Liangs was sent in my
back. I don't understand how that could happen ...

Liangs, please make sure to add me to the reviewers next time ?

Cheers.
