I do however not understand why the commit message so clearly defines that the only device including pmk8350 is the sc7280 idp when the sm8350-mtp.dts contains the following line: #include "pmk8350.dtsi" Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I took the liberty of also enabling the RTC in the SM8350 MTP.
