    Then perhaps 'adding /dev/rtc device' should
      be removed from 'small hack entries', or this entry includes
      implementing a rtc mach device? In addition to that, I'm quite
      confused about 'it doesn't need to reside in mach'. Do you mean it
      is not necessary  to add a rtc mach device? But I think we can
      only access underlying device through mach device interface,
      device_open() for example, and a rtc mach device is required.
