There are other applications supporting RTCs, which other users might be using, and they would eventually need to handle this corner case too, right? To me it seems it's better to handle this in the place that already has HW-specific code, the driver. If the RTC maintainers reject that for some reason, then maybe a simple script running on boot using hwclock. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-dev-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
