Hi Simon,
the proposal actually had a fully-working patch attached :)

In my code, the first rtc that register is bound
to /proc/driver/rtc and /dev/rtc (if those interfaces
are compiled in, as they are all selectable).
The other RTCs are available thru /sys/class/rtc/rtcX
(again, if compiled in).

You have full control of which functions you will provide
to the upper layer. Obivously if you try to set the
time on a read-only rtc, you will get an error.

Thanks, I'll consider it if the need arises.
