Ah, there was something :) I asked a similar question more than a year ago, see
this thread for some explanations:

http://groups.google.com/group/rtc-linux/browse_thread/thread/e9f90bb3d6d47371/bdd94740c69900c4?q=rtc-linux#bdd94740c69900c4

I started to have a look to remove the legacy driver but did not get very far.
Maybe we should apply something like this for now?

Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: correct entry for legacy RTC-driver

least.
