That was discussed already in detail in several threads and there
were already decisions made that the DT went into the kernel - no problem
with that.
I just don't see that it 'really does help' in it's current state if
things are broken in a way they are hard to fix for non DT-familiar
developers, almost impossible to fix for users which just need to
compile their own kernel to achieve their project goal.

Well... let's take it easy. I'll dig into the pcf8563 code now.

Most of this is addressed in the patch series starting with this message:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-December/047382.html

The pcf8563 driver is converted to the new format and is modified to
pick up it's address from the device tree.

This patch series is being held waiting for an ok on the low level
changes to the i2c subsystem. Hopefully it will go into 2.6.25

Thanks Jon, thanks Scott for the pointers, this works for me.
(Patches have some whitespace damage, you propably want to run
it thru checkpatch.pl before pushing upstream.)
