Here, MAX686 RTC driver needs two regmap handle, one for the rtc_regmap 
and other for STATUS2 register access.

        ret = regmap_read(info->max77686->regmap, MAX77686_REG_STATUS2, 
&val);
        if (ret < 0) {
                dev_err(info->dev, "%s:%d fail to read status2 reg(%d)\n",
                                __func__, __LINE__, ret);
                goto out;
        }


We can not have two regmap handle on rtc driver as both regmap (pmic and 
rtc) registered with different i2c device.

Also this register should not be accessed by RTC driver if we want to 
decouple as this is very much MAX77686 register set.
Do we need this code?
static int max77686_rtc_read_alarm(struct device *dev, struct rtc_wkalrm 
*alrm)
{
        struct max77686_rtc_info *info = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
        u8 data[RTC_NR_TIME];
        unsigned int val;
        int i, ret;

::::::::
       alrm->pending = 0;
        ret = regmap_read(info->max77686->regmap, MAX77686_REG_STATUS2, 
&val);
        if (ret < 0) {
                dev_err(info->dev, "%s:%d fail to read status2 reg(%d)\n",
                                __func__, __LINE__, ret);
                goto out;
        }

        if (val & (1 << 4)) /* RTCA1 */
                alrm->pending = 1;

}
