Hello Haojian,
No, we do not need to add another RTC device due to the usage of RTC
alarm from another device drivers or processes.
We can share an RTC device with others as long as others do not set
RTC alarm in the suspend-to-RAM context (specifically from prepare ops
to complete ops).
The reason why we have created cm_setup_timer() looking that awfully
complex is to let it coexist with other RTC alarm events and share the
precious RTC device.
Anyway, why do we even need two RTC devices in general?
If the RTC subsystem supports registering multiple alarm events,
that'd be nice and will make this one simpler as well; however, we do
not have it here for now.
We save previous RTC alarm if the configuration data says so
(rtc_wkalarm_save.enabled) and previously set alarm is later than the
current alarm and restore the RTC alarm value at wakeup.
If the previously set RTC alarm is earlier than the timer setup of
Charger Manager, we do not load the alarm value of Charger Manager and
let the previously set RTC alarm be active for a wakeup.
Cheers!
