It's in my sparc next tree:

	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc-next-2.6.git


That's not what I do, I use the real RAW chip drivers provided by the
RTC layer.

That's the way to do this.

I think the powerpc folks did the wrong thing and should just register
generic platform_device objects in their platform code, and let the
RTC layer drive the individual devices in response.

All the powerpc folks are doing is providing a dummy shim into the
RTC layer using their machine description vector, and not really using
the RTC layer drivers at all.
