Hello Alexandre-

Few comments below.

Returning IRQ_HANDLED when no interrupt condition is met. That seems
like a bad idea.

How are the many read-modify-write cycles for flags safe without any
form of synchronization? (Especially given the interrupt handler isn't
under ops_lock).

It'd be cleaner just to have a second set of rtc_class_ops that can be
switched between based on whether a valid interrupt is specified.
