But I don't think the CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y is correct for the Amiga kernel builds
but it is selected in the .config for the -amiga kernels available from
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/kernel/
(the 2.6.26 and 2.6.28 that I have looked at, anyway).

I believe that CONFIG_GEN_RTC=y and CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X=y should be the proper
selections and CONFIG_RTC_CLASS should not be set. These are the defaults for the m68k arch.

I am currently building a kernel with these selection changes to verify (2.6.29.1).
