There's some further cleanup possible after this patch. I noticed that
when it landed in today's linux-next (ie, next-20141201) as commit
2e591e7b3ac2 ("ARM: at91: remove at91sam9261/at91sam9g10 legacy board
support").

This was the only place where the Kconfig symbol RTC_DRV_AT91SAM9_GPBR
was used. That again matches its help text:
This option is only relevant for legacy board support and
won't be used when booting a DT board.

Is a patch to also remove that symbol from drivers/rtc/Kconfig queued
somewhere?
