Hi, this is my second try to send this patch, in the previous attempts I goofed up somehow and mail got duplicated. That's my first patch to LKML, so please bear with me ;) The patch attached adds support for the Epson 8564 RTC chip. This is a RTC chip sitting on the I2C bus. AFAIK the chip's address is hardcoded in silicon. This driver only does the low-level I2C stuff, the rtc misc device driver is a separate driver module which I will send a patch for soon. I CC Greg KH because its I2C, as Andrew Morton told me to do. The patch is against 2.6.6-rc3, but should apply cleanly to other 2.6 kernels.
