I have seen this on pre-2.6.28 kernels (with 4.0) .  With a stock (from 
linux-mips.org's git) 2.6.28 and  ip32_defconfig it works for me now.

I did also have to add:

o2:/etc/udev/rules.d# cat dave.rules
KERNEL=="rtc0",	SYMLINK+="rtc"

If any of this is needed with 5.0 I do not know.

Hope this helps,
