ds1307 clock module

[crashmaster]

Hello,

i've got a hwclock based on the mostly used ds1307. The kernels rtc-ds1307 routine is currently compiled as module. To use it i do
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
modprobe rtc-ds1307
')
which works fine, but during bootup the time is set a little bit too late (an "initrd" would probably solve this, but on RPi we don't have one).

Wouldn't it make sense to compile the ds1307 into the kernel and not as module, so time can be set as soon as possible like in PCs ?

Thanks,
Manfred
