Johan, let me know if this version addresses part of your concerns.

Looks good to me. I just have a few minor comments on two of the patches.

I'm open to any suggestion/rework to address other previously discussed
issues, as long as it does not end up in a dead-end (like the discussion
you had last year):
 - the fact that the RTT block could be used for something that is not
   an RTC
 - the fact that referencing the GPBR node and defining a GPBR register
   number to store RTC time info could be considered as an HW config and
   not an HW description and thus should not be described in the DT

No doubt.

Okay then. Any suggestion to do otherwise ?
Alexandre suggested to pass the GPBR register number through a module
parameter, and retrieve the GPBR syscon by searching for a gpbr node
(or atmel,at91sam9260-gpbr compatible node) in the device tree.

I'm not a big fan of this solution, as it implies passing driver
specific config to the global cmdline (and we'll have to handle the
9263 case where 2 RTT blocks are availables).

Best Regards,

Boris
