The interface +is defined in include/rtc.h and comprises of functions and structures: + + struct rtc_time { + int tm_sec; + int tm_min; + int tm_hour; + int tm_mday; + int tm_mon; + int tm_year; + int tm_wday; + int tm_yday; + int tm_isdst; + }; + + int rtc_get (struct rtc_time *); + int rtc_set (struct rtc_time *); + void rtc_reset (void); + +The functions are implemented by a proper device driver in drivers/rtc +directory and the driver to be compiled in is selected in a Makefile. +Drivers are mutually exclusive. + +Drivers depends on date code in drivers/rtc/date.c and naturally on board +specific data. + +II) Approach +------------ + + 1) New API + ---------- + In the UDM each rtc driver would register itself by a function + + int rtc_device_register(struct instance *i, + struct rtc_device_ops *o); + + The structure being defined as follows: + + struct rtc_device_ops { + int (*get_time)(struct instance *i, struct rtc_time *t); + int (*set_time)(struct instance *i, struct rtc_time *t); + int (*reset)(struct instance *i); + }; + + + 2) Conversion thougths + ---------------------- + U-Boot RTC drivers exports the same functions and therefore the conversion + of the drivers is straight-forward.
