I don't see how.  That would have required creating
a new arch/arm/include/asm/rtc.h with a framework for
other such stuff.  ARM finished getting rid of its
own RTC framework a few releases back; I certainly
wouldn't want to try creating a new one.

Plus, there's hardly any code gluing those two
methods into the RTC framework.  Even if this code
were wedged into some version of an rtc-firmware,
I'd expect the result would be bigger...

The reason to have wanted rtc-ppc (which would
morph into rtc-firmware) is that such an arch RTC
framework was already in place:  the "md" structs.
An rtc-ppc would help avoid "flag days" by helping
new and old frameworks coexist. Not an issue here.
