So may I disable CONFIG_RTC_DRV_MOXART from all out kernels?
Yes, please.
Done.
I usually go through things that can be set as =m and just activate them to have as much hardware support available as possible :).
Well, please stop doing that ;-) Upstream is notoriously bad at limiting drivers to the systems on which they are actually useful (or maybe they are not that bad but still not good enough to my taste.) So in many cases new drivers are only needed in a subset of our kernels, or even none of them. I know it takes some time to decide for each new driver whether it should be enabled or not. But it pays quickly by reducing the risk of build failure (which in fact are sometimes a hint that you enabled the driver on an architecture it wasn't meant for, so it was never tested) and speeding up the future builds and updates.
