Thank you, however I'm a little perplexed.

It was my understanding that RFC patches should not be applied without
further agreement, is that not the case? Obviously this patch was very
simple and I used RFC mainly because of the RTC driver itself, but I'm
curious to know for future submissions.

Also, I expected the entire series to go at once through the rtc tree
with your ack as while it is not a strict dependency in terms of
breakage, the first patch seems rather pointless without the follow-up
which could theoretically take a long time to get applied and even some
requested changes could require changes to this patch. Could you please
explain what the policy is on this?

Thank you, kind regards,
K. B.
