How are those numbers determined ? The datasheet gives voltage ranges.
I'd have assumed that the center of those ranges is chosen, but for the
most part it is the maximum, except for 2900 which is a bit above center
and 3100 for "> 3.0V". Not that I care too much, but it seems to me that
using the center voltage for each range would be more consistent.


I just used numbers that would result in the same step between levels
(200 mV) at the same time they would fit in the ranges, but I agree

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Still, I find it a bit misleading.

that using the center of the ranges makes sense. In this case which
values would you suggest for <= 1.7 and > 3.0 ?


The datasheet says that the battery voltage must be between 1.55 V and 3.6 V.
With that in mind, and since the next voltages would be 1800 and 2850 if you
use center voltages, I'd probably use 1600 and 3100. You'd then have
	1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600, 2850, 3100
This gets close to using the same step size but also reflects voltages
more accurately.

+							 0);

This won't compile if CONFIG_HWMON=n or if CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF85053A=y and
CONFIG_HWMON=m.

I will add dependencies in the Kconfig file.

You'll also need something like IS_REACHABLE() here unless you make the driver
depend on HWMON, which is probably not what you want.

Thanks,
Guenter
