I also wonder why all this works fine for Steve. > I had a look at the driver and I guess you have a 9063AD while Steve uses another model. That explains why you need the uie_unsupported flag. The 9063AD can only do alarms on a minute boundary. Since the move to hr_timer, the uie are done using the classic alarm or they are emulated by the core. This improved the situation for many RTCs that don't have a separate UIE but this made it worse for a few (and this is an example). I have plan to work on this but didn't have the time yet. I suggest the following patch: === >From 37b2ab7d537e76e42bde64cf4b57701b0ed8e8cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2019 10:06:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rtc: da9063: set uie_unsupported when relevant The DA9063AD doesn't support alarms on any seconds and its granularity is the minute. Set uie_unsupported in that case.
