I guess this is very true. And to follow this further - If then next ROHM RTC I work with is not using BCD - then I am probably not trying to support it with this driver. So I'd say you are correct. > 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. Ok.

I admit this is unlikely and I don't see the scenario how this can break - assuming these masks are now correct for BD70528 ;) If there was an error then having prefix BD70528 for define which is used by BD71828 (and possibly others) might be error prone as one could fix the define without checking the BD71828. When we limit this to those three defines it is _really_ unlikely (and probably not a problem) - but this was the reason why I wanted to do the renaming of common defines. By the way, I sent patch v2 couple of days ago - and I kept the BD70528 prefix as you suggested. I'll do that also in next versions so we can probably say this case is closed :] Thanks for taking the time to read the patches! Br, Matti Vaittinen
