Hi, The RTC used in the A31 and later SoC has an accuracy issue, which is already significant even after a couple of hours.
This is due to the fact that the oscillator used by default is an internal and very inaccurate one. A first attempt at fixing that by switching to the external oscillator was done in the patch "rtc: sun6i: Switch to the external oscillator". However, it turned out to be problematic since it was tracked properly in the clock framework, which might lead to some clocks being disabled, even though their devices were not notified. This is a second attempt, this time by making it part of the CCF. It turned out to be a bit more complicated than one would expect since the mux found inside the RTC also controls one of the input of the main clock unit. Therefore, it needs to be probed before the main clock unit driver. Let me know what you think, Maxime Maxime Ripard (6): rtc: sun6i: Expose the 32kHz oscillator rtc: sun6i: Add some locking rtc: sun6i: Disable the build as a module rtc: sun6i: Force the mux to the external oscillator ARM: sun8i: a23/a33: Enable the real LOSC and use it ARM: sun8i: a23/a33: Add the oscillators accuracy Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rtc/sun6i-rtc.txt | 8 +- arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-a23-a33.dtsi | 15 +- drivers/rtc/Kconfig | 2 +- drivers/rtc/rtc-sun6i.c | 189 +++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 181 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) base-commit: 99cef370ac9939df2aeb16c96d07e842b2fa8201 -- git-series 0.8.11 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to "rtc-linux".
