Disable the CLKOUT of the RTC after power-up.
After power-up/reset of the RTC, CLKOUT is enabled by default,
with CLKOUT enabled the RTC chip has 2-3 times higher power
consumption. If you do not need CLKOUT, you can disable the
CLKOUT with setting "disable-clkout" property.


I think you can simply unconditionally disable clkout. My preferred way
of doing what you suggest is probably to register a clock in the CCF. If
the clock is not used, it will be automatically disabled.
It will also provide a generic way of setting the clkout frequency (some
RTC are able to output 32kHZ, 1kHz and 1Hz).

Does disabling it ot break some boards?

I take a look into CCF, good idea.

bye,
Heiko
