Looks like an old one, or at least as long as the driver has existed.
The code needs to cope with being called on something other than a PS3.
Either the platform driver is only registered if the machine is a PS3,
or ps3_rtc_probe() actually does something to check it's on a PS3 before
registering the rtc_device.
