+	  Some AT91SAM9 SoCs provide an RTT (Real Time Timer) block which
+	  can be used as an RTC thanks to the backup power supply (e.g. a
+	  small coin cell battery) which keeps this block and the GPBR

+	  is shutdown.
+	  Some AT91SAM9 SoCs provide a real RTC block, on those ones you'd
+	  probably want to use the real RTC block instead of the RTT as an
+	  RTT driver.
You mean:
"instead of the RTT as an RTC"

With that, good description: thanks!

So, now we can think of what to do with the series:

- Johan, do you want to "Ack" it?
- may I take it through the arm-soc git tree (likely for the 3.19 dev.
phase).

Your thoughts?

Bye,
