Alexandre,

Is dynamic switching preferred over sticking  to external clock always if
present?

I'd say that I don't really care. I'd say the best would be to make a
decision based on clock-accuracy but maybe that is an information you
don't have yet. Anyway, this could be added at a later date.

Either the clock mux logic is glitchless, in which case the RTC is likely
to lose at least 31 microseconds per switch; or it's not glitchless, in
which case it's unsafe to switch the RTC clock source while the clock
isn't gated.  Keerthy, before submitting this patch for merging, I'd
suggest consulting your hardware folks to figure out which case it is.

Paul,

Thanks. Yes so i am doing the static way first. Keeping external clock always if available. Switching dynamically can be done later with more clarifications.

Thanks,
Keerthy
