The ds1337 chip on fsl_mp8313E RDB REVA 3 doesn't work properly

Hello All,
The same u-boot/kernel/rootfs on fsl_mp8313E RDB REVA 2, DS1337  RTC
chip can work,
but on sl_mp8313E RDB REVA 3, it doesn't work, its time don't change.

This RTC chip  specific bad behavior on sl_mp8313E RDB REVA 3  as follows:
(1) On U-Boot (from Freescale), run command:
=> i2c md 0x68 0x0
0000: 32 33 10 04 20 89 08 84 00 20 53 00 42 16 18 80    23.. .... S.B...
after a while
=> i2c md 0x68 0x0
0000: 32 33 10 04 20 89 08 84 00 20 53 00 42 16 18 80    23.. .... S.B...

The first value(second value) is unchanged always, but on  fsl_mp8313E
RDB REVA 2, it changes.
meanwhile, we can change this value through i2c nm 0x68  0xX on 
fsl_mp8313E RDB REVA 3.

SO the core of this problem is the time always keeps same.

(2) during Linux kernel bootup, we can see:
 oing write 0 bytes to 0x68 - 1 of 1 messages

ds1307 0-0068: setting the system clock to 2008-09-20 10:33:32 (1221906812)

it indicates can  read and write RTC chip through I2C. but after system
boot up,  we can see the time always same.

After  adjusting these configurations on  U-Boot environment according
to fsl_mp8313E RDB REVA 2, it still doesn't work.

Who can give me some advice or suggestion ?  currently I doubt this
hardware, but  what a shame I have only one fsl_mp8313E RDB REVA 3 board,
can't  do comparison experiment.
 
Thanks in advance.

looks like your oscillator is turned off (80 in status reg).

There are many reasons this can happen - google for 'dallas 1337 rtc'
for the chip's documentation to help you diagnose.
