This (time_gap > U32_MAX) comparison looks flawed by design, and we should use time_t these days anyway. Also, do you have an opinion on the other RTC patches? The linear day patch (v10 04/18)[1] and the broken-down alarm registers (v10 05/18)[2] were on the list for a while now and are needed by other SoCs as well (R329[3] and the RISC-V D1).
