By the way, with this patch, individual board can not implement its

Is this necessary? How about letting us wait until there is a sensible
need?
I think implementing rtc_get_time (mips specific) with get_rtc_time
(genrtc) is more efficient than implementing get_rtc_time with
rtc_get_time for most RTC chips.
If I understand you correctly, you like to have board rtc read routines to
return a rtc structure instead of the unsigned long integer.
There are actually boards which makes the current implementation more efficient.
See vr4181.
In general, however, this is not a bad idea, just involving a lot more
board level changes. I think it deserves another patch or even debate.
