Hi,

This patch must come first. Also, the correct prefix is
dt-bindings: rtc:

If you had a fallback on atmel,at91sam9260-rtt, this would make merging
this series easier as this removes the need for 1/5 and 2/5.

I think 2/5 may be useful in the future but as far as the aic fixup
is concerned, both IPs are identical.

indeed.

What I said is not that the new compatible is not necessary at all but
that it can be avoided in the aic code.
