Of course there are examples. Just look in drivers/i2c/

LWMON uses a Philips PCF8563 RTC, but the LWMON board uses a  special
(lean,  non-standard)  I2C  driver  (drivers/i2c/i2c-simple.c) so the
driver as used on LWMON ("drivers/char/pcf8563_rtc.c") will not  help
you  much.  But there is also a standard drivers fopr other RTC chips
in our source tree.
