Hello, On a recent disussion [0] with Krzysztof Kozlowski and Laxman Dewangan, we came to the conclusion that the max77686 and max77802 RTC are almost the same with only a few differences so there shouldn't be two separate drivers and is better to extend max77686 driver and delete rtc-max77802. By making the driver more generic, other RTC IP blocks from Maxim PMICs could be supported as well like the max77620. Patches #1 is just a trivial cleanup. Patch #2 allows to support RTCs that need a shorter delay when updating the RTC. Patch #3 adds a driver data structure to avoid hard-coding parameters specific to a certain RTC such as the needed delay and RTC register mask. Patch #4 changes the driver to use a mapping table instead of using the max77686 registers offsets directly to allow supporting RTC with other registers addresses and layout. Patch #5 Adds support for max77802 to max77686 RTC driver and patch #6 removes the old driver since is not needed anymore. Finally patch #7 and patch #8 removes the Kconfig symbol from defconfigs. I've tested this patch-set on an Exynos5800 Peach Pi Chromebook that has a max77802 PMIC and the RTC was working correctly but I don't have a machine with max77686 so I will really appreaciate if someone can test that no regressions were introduced.Thanks for the submission. I like the approach. I'll start reviewing the code and testing it... or maybe I'll wait with testing for v2 because I already sent some comments. :) Anyway I will provide later tested-by on max77686.
Thanks a lot for your detailed review. I'll post v2 shortly so you can just test that.
Best regards, Krzysztof
