efi_rtc.c just predates genrtc getting into kernel.org, but as it does come from the m68k folks, it came first :) WRT gen_rtc.c being killed off, yes, that sounds vaugly like the MIPS varriant of a generic RTC driver, which is being killed off (which reminds me of some cleanups suggested by Jun Sun, *sigh*, so much to do, so little time).
