+ * DS1286 Real Time Clock interface for Linux
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 1998, 1999, 2000 Ralf Baechle
+ *
+ * Based on code written by Paul Gortmaker.
+ *
+ * This driver allows use of the real time clock (built into nearly all
+ * computers) from user space. It exports the /dev/rtc interface supporting
+ * various ioctl() and also the /proc/rtc pseudo-file for status
+ * information.
+ *
+ * The ioctls can be used to set the interrupt behaviour and generation rate
+ * from the RTC via IRQ 8. Then the /dev/rtc interface can be used to make
+ * use of these timer interrupts, be they interval or alarm based.
+ *
+ * The /dev/rtc interface will block on reads until an interrupt has been
+ * received. If a RTC interrupt has already happened, it will output an
+ * unsigned long and then block. The output value contains the interrupt
+ * status in the low byte and the number of interrupts since the last read
+ * in the remaining high bytes. The /dev/rtc interface can also be used with
+ * the select(2) call.
+ *
+ * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
+ * under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the
+ * Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your
+ * option) any later version.
