Re: [PATCH 0/7] Enable backup switch mode on RTCs via devicetree

Hello,

You can't do that, this breaks an important use case and it is the
reason why I didn't use device tree in the beginning. What is wrong with
setting BSM from userspace? You will anyway have to set the time and
date from userspace for it to be saved.
