We should wait up to 31.25 us, about one cycle of 32khz. Otherwise reading RTC time will return a old time. If we clear the GET_TIME bit after setting, the time of i2c transfer is certainly more than 31.25us. Doug said: : I think we are safe. At 400kHz (the max speed of this part) each bit can : be transferred no faster than 2.5us. In order to do a valid i2c : transaction we need to _at least_ write the address of the device and the : data onto the bus, which is 16 bits. 16 * 2.5us = 40us. That's above the : 31.25us Signed-off-by: Chris Zhong <zyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sonny Rao <sonnyrao@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Heiko Stübner <heiko@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/rtc/rtc-rk808.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/rtc/rtc-rk808.c~rtc-rk808-fix-the-rtc-time-reading-issue drivers/rtc/rtc-rk808.c --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-rk808.c~rtc-rk808-fix-the-rtc-time-reading-issue +++ a/drivers/rtc/rtc-rk808.c @@ -67,15 +67,20 @@ static int rk808_rtc_readtime(struct dev /* Force an update of the shadowed registers right now */ ret = regmap_update_bits(rk808->regmap, RK808_RTC_CTRL_REG, BIT_RTC_CTRL_REG_RTC_GET_TIME, - 0); + BIT_RTC_CTRL_REG_RTC_GET_TIME); if (ret) { dev_err(dev, "Failed to update bits rtc_ctrl: %d\n", ret); return ret; } + /* After we set the GET_TIME bit, the rtc time couldn't be read + * immediately, we should wait up to 31.25 us, about one cycle of + * 32khz.
