i2c: Deprecate legacy RTC drivers
We have a new RTC subsystem with better drivers. Legacy driver status: * ds1337: The DS1337 and DS1339 are now supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver, so it looks to me like we could even delete the ds1337 driver right away. * ds1374: Will soon be replaced with Scott Wood's rtc-ds1374 driver. * m41t00: The M41T00 is supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver. For the M41T81 and M41T85, the rtc-m41t80 driver written by Atsushi Nemoto should work. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Acked-by: Mark A.
