Note that ROHM_BD1_MASK_RTC_HOUR_24H, ROHM_BD1_MASK_RTC_HOUR_PM and ROHM_BD1_MASK_ALM_EN are bits and should use BIT() to make that clear. Those may change later but I don't see how someone looking at the BD70528 datasheet would get those wrong. -- Alexandre Belloni, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
