The rtc for which this series adds support is embedded within a function block called
"Secure Real Time Clock". This driver doesn't utilize all of the hardware features by
now. But maybe someone else wants to extend the functionalities, later.
For that possibility I wanted to name the node "srtc". Should I still change this?

I believe you have a much better understanding of what should be done here. I don't
want to argue with you, just thought you might not had that information. So if I am
wrong just tell me and I will change it without further "complaining".
From the Devicetree Specification document:
"Generic Names Recommendation

The name of a node should be somewhat generic, reflecting the function
of the device and not its precise program-
ming model. If appropriate, the name should be one of the following choices:
...
rtc
"

So better use 'rtc' as suggested by Rob.
