 I ran into this some time ago, and found that you get different
 results depending on whether the device has been opened or not.
 
 Have you tried kldunloading "rtc" w/o using it first, e.g. directly
 after boot?
 
 I've been using the following patch for a while:
 
 --- rtc.c.org   Wed Aug 20 20:41:50 2003
 +++ rtc.c       Thu Oct  2 08:40:37 2003

                 DLog(Lfail, "%p busy", sc);
                 return error;
         }
 -       destroy_dev(rtc_dev);
 +       if (sc == NULL)
 +               destroy_dev(rtc_dev);
  #if __FreeBSD_version < 500104
         error = cdevsw_remove(&rtc_cdevsw);
  #endif
 
 Which seems to work find for me in all cases.  I made a mental note to
 submit a PR once I've tested out the fix, and then of course, I forgot
 all about it... :)
