Hi John,
I just sent a patch series to linux-mips@ that enables the RTC on a
particular Broadcom MIPS motherboard (BCM91250A SWARM). The RTC is an
M41T80.
When I first found the patchset (it was originally sent a a few years
ago) and applied it to 2.6.37, it worked perfectly.
Applied to 3.x (and I think even 2.6.38) I get the following when I run hwclock:
# hwclock --systohc
select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out
dmesg shows:
[ 1.068000] i2c /dev entries driver
[ 1.072000] i2c-sibyte: i2c SMBus adapter module for SiByte board
[ 1.080000] rtc-m41t80 1-0068: chip found, driver version 0.06
[ 1.088000] rtc-m41t80 1-0068: rtc core: registered m41t81 as rtc0
[ 1.172000] rtc-m41t80 1-0068: setting system clock to 2011-08-18
19:56:53 UTC (1313697413)
I'm emailing you because I thought it might be the same problem as
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/20/306
Do you know what might be the problem?
The patch series can be found here [1], if they did not find their way
to you through another mailing list.
Thanks,
Matt
