I used this patch to teach me how to convert a new evbarm board (the
code for which will be submitted for review Real Soon Now), and it works
fine. Here's my questions on the patch...
sys/arch/evbarm/ifpga/pl030_rtc.c: plrtc_attach() does not call
todr_attach()?
sys/arch/arm/footbridge/isa/dsrtc.c: dsrtc_write() and dsrtc_read()
continue to return 1 for success, which the generic TODR code will treat
as an error return?
It's a nice improvement, thanks.
