 I posted a separate change to implement a backend using the RTC class
device.  I think this is the right solution till all the platforms are
moved away from legacy RTC drivers.

 I think you are right about the long-term implications and apart from any
possible quirks I think the interface could get improved as there are RTC
chips we support nowadays that provide sub-second resolution.
