Last time, we discussed if it makes sense to rename it to mpc5xxx, as the rtc is quite similar to the mpc5200 one. I then checked and parts of the differences include that it is not possible on a 5200 to use the tricks to keep the RTC persistent across resets. Thus, I think the patch is okay with not supporting the 5200. Its rtc seems pretty useless.
