RTC no longer exist on the 866/87x/88x

[David Ho]

Hi 8xx gurus,

I just noticed the RTC is no longer documented/tested/supported on the
duet.  How does this impact the current 2.4 8xx tree?

I know the /dev/rtc still uses RTC on the processor, it appears to work
fine, but I wouldn't bet my life on it for production units.

How about the kernel's timing service and scheduling, does it use the
timebase register instead?  Are these services effected at all?

Thanks a lot,
