These are some pretty simple error messages. It basically says it can't
load the usb-uhci module that ztdummy needs. So either you do not have a
uhci usb device, or you are using the other driver which would then
cause the device to be otherwise busy and not able to answer the calls
for this driver. So you need to know either sort out your usb problems,
or switch to the ztrtc driver.

modprobe consults the modules dependency database, and uses names of
drivers, not filenames. This is why this example failed.

As far as I know, PRIMARY is useless since the majority of people here
have probably never even seen that card let alone have it.
