[PATCH v2 00/16] a few rtc driver cleanups

[André Draszik]

Hi,

While looking at RTC, I noticed that various drivers are keeping
pointers to data that they're not using themselves throughout their
lifetime.

So I took the liberty to drop these pointers and this series is the
result.

The last two patches also convert two drivers to using dev_err_probe(),
as I looked slightly closer into those two. They don't exactly fit the
general subject of removal of unneeded pointers, but I wanted to share
them anyway, since they're ready.

Drivers other than s5m were compile-tested only.

Cheers,
Andre'
