We have our own config and some compile fixes. But the base
commit is 219d54332a09

Indeed. Well, on all other arm architectures I can test (omap3/4/5, imx6, raspi)
it is correct. Only on mips jz4780 I see this.

Ah, good question. How do I find out? Checking defconfig did not show any
config with R4K or GIC. So it is likely NONE. CONFIG_RTC_DRV_JZ4740=y if that
helps.
