Summary:                    [PATCH] hwclock must understand /dev/rtc0,
/dev/rtc1, etc
Description: 
For the past year or more, Linux has had an RTC framework supporting
multiple RTCs, conventionally named /dev/rtcN (N starting at zero).

This is widely used on embedded Linuxes, since there are so many
different implementations of RTCs, and systems may need more than
one (e.g. the full featured integrated one may not be battery backed).
The /dev/rtc name is conventionally used only for the RTC on an x86_pc.

The busybox "hwclock" doesn't understand those names, and has no
way to access more than one RTC at a time, even if someone sets up
a symlink from e.g. rtc pointing at rtc0.
