Really?  So all AB8500_CORE users will get to include this driver in
their builds just by running `make oldconfig'?

It would be neater to do

	struct rtc_time tm = {
		.tm_year = year - 1900,
		.tm_mday = 1,
	};

iirc, the compiler will quietly treat this as `static const', which is
what we want.

This bit needs a comment.  Because there's no way of understanding it
by reading the code!

hm, is this really worth the console spam?

"equal to or greater than" would sound more mathematical ;)

Seems a bit fragile.  I guess that platform_get_irq_byname("ALARM")
will always return the same value, but still.  Would it be better to
store the irq number in private storage?  Unsure..
