Re: [PATCH 5/7] soc: brcmstb: add wake-timer driver

Useful for waking the system from suspend after a specified period of
time.

This IP could potentially be supported as an RTC driver (for use with
the 'rtcwake' utility), but it is not battery backed, so that's not a
great fit. Implement a custom sysfs interface instead.

I would very much like to see this driver be implemented as a degenerate
RTC driver because this sorts of maps pretty well to the "rtcwake" use
mode, and this is a persistent clock source, and even a clock source as
well (I would rather avoid going the MFD route to expose these 3
"functions" though).

Thanks!
