You can check with printk ... rtc_generic should call into get_rtc_t

Hi,
What will give me access to the RTC hardware on an old PowerMac 8600?
I modload rtc-generic. /proc/devices has:
254 rtc
and ls -l /dev/rtc*:
crw-r--r-- 2 root root 254, 0 Sep 2 2010 /dev/rtc
crw-r--r-- 2 root root 254, 0 Sep 2 2010 /dev/rtc0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10, 135 Aug 10
