You are right.
I learned from official documents that 8051 works in the RTC domain.
Linux does not provide relevant interfaces to operate 8051,
Just providing a mailbox for communication between them, or through
interruptions.
I don't understand how 8051 works, so I shouldn't write to the
corresponding registers in RTC.
