I looked at the DS1337 driver, but that chip uses individual registers for the various time bits, whereas the DS1374 uses a 32-bit seconds count spread across 4 registers. I wasn't convinced that I could find a reliable way to differenciate between the 2 types at run time since they use the same I2C address (0x68). So, I choose to create a new driver to keep it simple. If there is a reliable way to handle both types in the same driver, I'll drop my DS1374-specific driver. > > (Also, I'll wait on acceptance of the driver before pushing the board > code). Agreed.
