I didn't know NTP was broken with RTC class drivers?

So we should actually keep on using genrtc instead of rtc-ppc/rtc-generic for
now? ;-)

 broken here means that the kernel won't save the time to the hardware
 rtc every 11 minutes as it used to do. normal NTP operations are unaffected.

 I posted patches to support it last year -- from your answer I infer they 
were not applied in the end.  I'll see if I can try to refresh them and 
push again next time I'll be upgrading my kernel.
