Hello,

Ah, didn't see that, as I just skimmed over the web archive page you 
linked to, which has no link to the actual patch (or I'm too stupid to 
find it).

 In my code, the first rtc that register is bound
 to /proc/driver/rtc and /dev/rtc (if those interfaces
 are compiled in, as they are all selectable).

It would be good to have a way to change which clock is the "primary" 
one from userspace later (userspace because this is clearly site policy).

 You have full control of which functions you will provide
 to the upper layer. Obivously if you try to set the
 time on a read-only rtc, you will get an error.

Sure. I was thinking of the question which error that should be.
