> I tried to look at 9front BCM tree, it seems to be a bit different (no fakertc device for example) from the one at Bell Labs, is it by purpose or just trees are not synched? I'm asking because i have 9front on my laptop and i'd like to build BCM kernel there, and so i thought maybe i could use 9pi from 9front image instead, but i'd like to know what is the status.

If you want your work to be useful to the Plan 9 community (and I hope you do), please
stay with us and improve the real Plan 9.

You can safely leave out the fakertc driver when building a bcm kernel.  The
only consequence is that you'll be prompted for date and time when booting with
root filesystem on the local SD card (because the Pi doesn't have a rtc).  If
your root fs comes from another server (which I recommend), fakertc isn't used.
