The original pxa_rtc_open/pxa_rtc_release will be called
when the /dev/rtc0 is opened or closed.
In fact, these two functions will register/unregister the irqs.
User application will use /dev/rtc0 to read the rtc time or set
the alarm. The rtc should still run indepent of open/close the
rtc device.
So only register the irqs when probe the device,
and disable clock and unregister the irqs when remove the device.

Again, this is wrong.

No, as Russell I think that's not correct.

This is not how RTC API should be used. And on top of RTC API considerations,
consider this : today, rtc-pxa and rtc-sa1100 _can_ coexist on a PXA platform,
and be used alternatively (I know, it's a bit borderline because of IO space,
but anyway it does work). How will that be possible with your patch ?

Cheers.
