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.

This is a v4 of a series that do this, that address issues pointed out
in the latest version. The v1, v2 and v3 can be found at [1], [2], [3].

I've tested this patch-set on an Exynos5800 Peach Pi Chromebook that has
a max77802 PMIC and the RTC was working correctly. Krzysztof Kozlowski
tested v3 on an max77686 but this version only has cosmetic changes so
it should not cause any functionality changes.

I've applied patches 1 to 8 and I'll discussed with Arnd and Olof about
what I should do with the defconfig changes.

To avoid conflicts they could go through samsung-soc tree. I could pick
them if you provide me a tag with rest of patchset (dependencies).

Would that be okay for you?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
