I think it will break the booting of MIPS/RISCV QEMU virtual machines, because RTC is an necessary device. For the maintenance, I don't know whether Goldfish RTC depends on the code under drivers/platform/goldfish. If not, I think I can maintain it (I think other parts of Goldfish will be removed, I'm able to maintain RTC but I'm not able to maintain the whole). Huacai > > thanks, > > gre gk-h
