No problem, negative feedback is the best feedback!

To be clear, the discussion is practically about the pcf2127-rtc.
I'll be honest with you, I've no idea why anyone would need an RTC
driver in SPL, nor how can I even test it if I wanted to.
I've tested just now, and I can run "date" (which calls dm_rtc_get)
in Hush after deleting the "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" property, and it
behaved absolutely the same (no surprises).

Whichever way you feel like. Just stating that proper review will be
very difficult in this format.
