In case it's additional reviewers, I have CC'd some more

My addresses are both still active (dispite the slow response).
Ether is fine.

I think the original author listed in the header for this driver,
Alexander Bigga, is inaccurate. It looks to me like his name got copied
over by Atsushi Nemoto when he created m41t82.c by deriving it from a
similar driver. At any rate, Alexander Bigga's listed email address
bounces, I didn't find a newer one for him, and he doesn't show up in
the kernel commit log after 2007. I don't think he can be considered the
maintainer for this driver anymore if he ever was.

In 2006-2007, I wrote rtc-m41t80 driver based on Alexander Bigga's
rtc-m41txx driver with his cooperation and review, then upstreamed it.

About your patchset, I have no idea, since I have not touched this device
and driver for a long time (>10 years) ...
