Hi, just ran into a problem with my PPC port to a VME PreP -like board: The RTC driver for the 146818 will use a "strange" setup variable that was wrong for my board: RTC_ALWAYS_BCD This was set to one, which effectively made the driver disregard the real setting in the clock chip. Can anyone explain to me why this #define is there at all ? The actual value read from the chip should IMHO be the only thing to consider when reading/ writing the chip... Otherwise you will do as my board did: read binary data and handle it as BCD, which of course did the wrong thing...
