Hello Oliver,
I added the RTC maintainers and list to Cc.

Maybe rtc-mv should set uie_unsupported if no irq is aquired?

hwclock (from util-linux) is being stupid here. The tradtional RTC on
the x86 platform has a resolution of 1s only and if you set it the next
increment is 1 second after the last increment instead of 1 second after
the new time was set. So hwclock waits for an update event and then sets
the new time (in some cases to a tad later than requested) to ensure the
PC clock is off by less than half a second. For most (if not all) other
RTCs this is wrong and still worse if the RTC in question doesn't
support UIE.

What is the output of dmesg | grep 10300 ?

You're not using the s35390a driver, do you?

Try if
busybox hwclock
works better for you. At least this one doesn't have this strange PC
quirk.
