I don't think it is a good idea to add everything in the RTC driver.
I prefer to separate them to sub devices if possible, so we can
make full use of all the framework provided.

Yes, but you should submit the 8051 and reboot device early, and
change your binding with the right compatible. It is not allowd to
change compatible after the binding is determined.
