ds1302_rtc_remove() no longer exists in my tree - it got whittled away
to nothing by
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/rtc-rtc-ds1302-remove-unnecessary-platform_set_drvdata.patch
and
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/drivers-rtc-rtc-ds1302c-remove-empty-function.patch

Perhaps it should be re-added for this?
