  Do I understand right? Are you want to make the rtc.txt part the same format as ABI folder?
  for example create to RTC folder and add /dev/rtc what, date, kernelversion, contact right?

Yes I mentioned just the sysfs interface. But both ioctl and sysfs interface
should be there in Documentation/ABI. There could a new file called sysfs-rtc in
Documentation/ABI/stable with both these interfaces.

Hello,

I think the ABI maintainer is API group but I think you have contact to linux documentation team. 
maybe, Greg provide a  give information:

  This can be a good idea and I can help.

Sure thanks. I can maybe send a patch with these changes.

One question: who should be the primary contact for this ABI?

I add linux-api mailing lists. So, please send a your patch linux-kernel and linux-api mailing lists.
