133 The new framework also removes the "one RTC per system" restriction. For
134 example, maybe the low-power battery-backed RTC is a discrete I2C chip, but
135 a high functionality RTC is integrated into the SOC. That system might read
136 the system clock from the discrete RTC, but use the integrated one for all
