[rtc-linux] Re: [PATCH] rtc: ds1307: fix century bit support

Hi Alexandre,

Add an option to properly support the century bit of ds1337 and compatibles
and ds1340.
Because the driver had a bug until now, it is not possible to switch users
to the fixed code directly as RTCs in the field will wrongly have the
century bit set.

Arnaud, do you mind testing that patch, I still don't have the necessary
hardware but I think this is the proper course of action.

I did some tests w/ all patches applied (the one below and the ones in
the other series). I had to fix two errors: one pointed in the patch
below and the other one in a patch in the other series (I'll reply to
the patch).

With both RTC_DRV_DS1307 and RTC_DRV_DS1307_CENTURY enabled, this works
as expected on my side: booting on a system which had only seen an
ISL12057 driver, the time on the system at boot (or via hwclock -r) is
correct. Playing w/ -s and -w options works as expected. Booting back on
a kernel w/ ISL12057 driver, things are also ok. So, AFAICT, your
changes do the work.

One small thing though: for user which have always used RTC_DRV_ISL12057
config knob, the change will not be transparent. Would it be possible to
somehow make that old kernel config knob some kind of alias for
RTC_DRV_DS1307 and RTC_DRV_DS1307_CENTURY in Kconfig?

Cheers,
