Hmm, I have missed this.

In this case can we drop I2C_SMBUS Kconfig stuff

+config I2C_SMBUS
+	bool
+

+obj-$(CONFIG_I2C_SMBUS) += i2c-smbus.o

from 'add driver for PCA95[357]x, ...' series?

Anyway CONFIG_I2C_SMBUS has another meaning in linux.

So you propose to add an option to hwclock command to store RTC readout into variable,
isn't it?

I have an idea to put epoch offset (number of years into AD to which a zero year value
in the Hardware Clock refers) into "global.epoch" variable and add corresponding
Kconfig option for default epoch value.
