[PATCH] rtc: abx80x: Don't warn about oscillator failure after PoR

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to the datasheet, the "oscillator failure" bit is set

> ...on a power on reset, when both the system and battery voltages have
> dropped below acceptable levels. It is also set if an Oscillator Failure
> occurs....

>From testing, this bit is also set if a software reset is initiated.

This bit has a confusing name; it really tells us whether the time data
is valid. We clear it when writing the time. If it is still set, that
means there is a persistent issue (such as an oscillator failure),
instead of a transient one (such as power loss).

Because there are several other reasons which might cause this bit
to be set (including booting for the first time or a battery failure),
do not warn about oscillator failures willy-nilly. This may cause system
integrators to waste time looking into the wrong line of investigation.
