This is completely beyond the scope of the patch, which merely adds
a driver for snvs-lp-rtc device. But the driver does not know how
the device is created, and it does not need to know.

As I already said, the patch only adds a driver for snvs-lp-rtc. It
should not care about how snvs-lp-rtc device is created on particular
platform. The patch does work as-is for imx6q, which is the target
of the patch so far.

This is probably because readl/writel does not work on powerpc.
I experienced the same thing when working on fsl_ssi driver.
My patch only targets imx6q right now.
