- *	based on Paul Gortmaker's rtc.c device and
- *           Sam Creasey Generic rtc driver
- *
- *	This driver allows use of the real time clock (built into

- *	interface supporting various ioctl() and also the /proc/driver/rtc
- *	pseudo-file for status information.
- *
- *	The ioctls can be used to set the interrupt behaviour where
- *	supported.
- *
- *	The /dev/rtc interface will block on reads until an interrupt
- *	has been received. If a RTC interrupt has already happened,
- *	it will output an unsigned long and then block. The output value
- *	contains the interrupt status in the low byte and the number of
- *	interrupts since the last read in the remaining high bytes. The
- *	/dev/rtc interface can also be used with the select(2) call.
