In A.D. 1582 Pope Gregory XIII found that the existing Julian calendar
insufficiently represented reality, and changed the rules about
calculating leap years to account for this. Similarly, in A.D. 2013
Rockchip hardware engineers found that the new Gregorian calendar still
contained flaws, and that the month of November should be counted up to
31 days instead. Unfortunately it takes a long time for calendar changes
to gain widespread adoption, and just like more than 300 years went by
before the last Protestant nation implemented Greg's proposal, we will
have to wait a while until all religions and operating system kernels
acknowledge the inherent advantages of the Rockchip system. Until then
we need to translate dates read from (and written to) Rockchip hardware
back to the Gregorian format.This patch works by defining Jan 1st, 2016 as the arbitrary anchor date
on which Rockchip and Gregorian calendars are in sync. From that we can
translate arbitrary later dates back and forth by counting the number
of November/December transitons since the anchor date to determine the
offset between the calendars. We choose this method (rather than trying
to regularly "correct" the date stored in hardware) since it's the only
way to ensure perfect time-keeping even if the system may be shut down
for an unknown number of years. The drawback is that other software
reading the same hardware (e.g. mainboard firmware) must use the same
translation convention (including the same anchor date) to be able to
read and write correct timestamps from/to the RTC.Signed-off-by: Julius Werner

After we set the GET_TIME bit, the rtc time can't be read immediately. 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[akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment per review discussion]

This is the initial version of the RK808 PMIC. This is a power management
IC for multimedia products. It provides regulators that are able to
supply power to processor cores and other components. The chip provides
other modules including RTC, Clockout.Add RTC driver for supporting RTC device present inside RK808 PMIC.
