[PATCH] rtc: pcf8563: add SMBus support

From: Michael Walle

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 07:53:31 EST


Since commit 00f1bb9b8486 ("rtc: pcf8563: Switch to regmap") the driver
uses regmap to access the RTC. Regmap itself will figure out if there is
a suitable I2C or SMBus host controllers. Thus, don't restict the driver
to just I2C controllers and make it work on SMBus controllers supporting
i2c block accesses.

This was tested on a custom x86 board.
