From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx> The VL bit in the seconds register remains set only until seconds are written under main power. As this often happens during boot-up after picking up a network time, make sure to preserve the low battery state across this, caching it and returning it via the RTC_VL_BACKUP_LOW bit. To permit userspace clearing this state during runtime, also implement RTC_VL_CLR that works against the cached state. This is emulating RTCs which have a battery voltage check that works under main power as well.
