Enable the rtc node on VIM1/VIM2 boards so users can simply attach a power cell and use the on-board RTC without modifying the device-tree. Cold boot with no cell attached is gracefully handled: VIM2:~ # dmesg | grep rtc [ 7.716150] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: no valid clock/calendar values available [ 7.716957] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: registered as rtc0 [ 7.729850] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: no valid clock/calendar values available [ 7.729877] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock [ 8.126768] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: no valid clock/calendar values available Warm boot (and any boot with cell attached) recalls stored values resulting in consistently faster (re)boot times: VIM2:~ # dmesg | grep rtc [ 7.441671] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: registered as rtc0 [ 7.442663] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: setting system clock to 2020-11-16T05:49:59 UTC (1605505799) Suggested-by: Artem Lapkin <art@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Christian Hewitt <christianshewitt@xxxxxxxxx> --- This supersedes other recent attempts by Art to make the same change [0] and [1] which were rejected for lack of justification for the change and leaving comments behind.
