Only necessary if it is typical for the device to get disabled. I don't add status="okay" properties unless it is to enable a device previously disabled with status="disabled" g.

This device being internal to the SoC and having no dependency on external components, it is indeed always available. Thanks again for the clarification! Thomas

Its dependent on at least one external component, a battery. The driver determines at load time if the clock is ticking. There are a few Kirkwood and XP designs which use an external i2c RTC, because the battery recommended by Marvell is mechanically not so easy to attached to the board, in a robust way. So i expect some boards will disable this from there own .dts file. However, defaulting to enabled would make sense. Andrew

Ok, thanks for the clarification! Indeed, the OpenBlocks for example has a RTC on I2C, so maybe it'll want to disable the on-SoC RTC. Best regards, Thomas
