SubjectRe: [RFC v2 23/24] m68k/mac: Fix PRAM accessors

Hi Geert,

Further to my previous email,

This document appears to be Inside Macintosh vol. III ch. 2. It describes
the early RTC chip that lacks two-byte operations and XPRAM, and pre-dates
all Mac hardware supported in mainline Linux. But it does offer some
useful data, though not enough to answer all of your criticisms (as I
said).

So, unless you have other ideas, I will revise this patch and insert an
earlier patch to address existing code, and codify what little reliable
chip data we have.
