dev/i2c/files.i2c has:

        +# Dallas DS1307 Real Time Clock
        +device dsrtc
        +attach dsrtc at iic
        +file   dev/i2c/ds1307.c                        dsrtc

Several other ports (cats, evbppc/walnut) also use "dsrtc" for different
types of Dallas RTCs (and were previously listed in sys/dev/DEVNAMES).
Trying to configure a walnut kernel gives:

        sys/arch/evbppc/conf/files.walnut:53: redefinition of `dsrtc'
        sys/arch/evbppc/conf/files.walnut:54: redefinition of `dsrtc'
        WALNUT:224: A dsrtc cannot attach to a pbus
        WALNUT:225: A todclock cannot attach to a dsrtc

and something similar for cats kernels.  The i2c, cats and walnut RTCs
all have completely different register offsets and usages - I'm not
sure that a shared driver makes much sense (in that it would really
degenerate to N separate backends and not really have much common code).
What's the best way of dealing with this?

Simon.
