Subject: [PATCH 4/9] rtc: efi: Transition to the faux device interface
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:13:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250317-plat2faux_dev-v1-4-5fe67c085ad5@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250317-plat2faux_dev-v1-0-5fe67c085ad5@arm.com>
The EFI RTC driver does not require the creation of a platform device.
Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity when the driver was
first implemented.
With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the driver to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will simplify the code, reducing its footprint
while maintaining functionality.
