This patch rework mxc_rtc driver.
Major changes have been made:
- Added second clock support (optional) which permit module functionality.
- Implemented support for periodic interrupts.
- Some code have been optimized.
You won't get any further with this if you don't listen to comments.

We're at v3 and Still this patch combines many totally unrelated changes
in a single patch. This was noted by Shawn and more detailed by myself.
Where Sascha?
v3 is so different than v2. Can you inline your comments in v3?
I just did that.
At the moment, the driver does not work at all, even for a boards which declared.
I do not understand the issue of making changes if we can correct this situation 
Please fix me.
Once again, now driver not work at all .....
If the driver is really so broken and ugly that it can't be fixed or
only with a huge amount of work, then your option would be to replace it
completely and clearly say why you think it's broken and why we need a
new driver.

I don't think that's the case. The driver has it's deficiencies, but
they can be fixed. Many of your changes are fine, but it's really 5-10
patches you have thrown into a single patch.
This is simply not nice to people reviewing it.
