Well, the same thing means that the bit would get set again within a
minute after the RTC_VL_CLR, so the information isn't lost as such. I
actually don't understand what RTC_VL_CLR would be for if not this
(though, again, in this case at least it would only have a very
short-lived effect), but I'm perfectly happy to just rip out the
RTC_VL_CLR case.
