The V3(s) will detect a valid external low frequency clock and if it is not present will automatically switch to the internal one. This might hide bugs and (hardware) configuration errors. It's even worse because the internal RTC runs significantly slower (32.000Hz vs 32.768Hz). Fortunately for us, the V3(s) has an (undocumented) bypass of this switching and the driver already supports it by setting the .has_auto_swt flag. Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <mwalle@kernel.org> --- This is not tagged as a Fixes commit, because it might break boards with an incorrect device tree. That is, if the device tree lists the external crystal but the board doesn't have it the RTC will stop running. I don't think this is likely though, because the user manual requires the external clock. --- drivers/rtc/rtc-sun6i.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
