[PATCH 0/7] Enable backup switch mode on RTCs via devicetree

From: Frieder Schrempf <frieder.schrempf at kontron.de>

Some RTC devices like the RV3028 have BSM disabled as factory default.
This makes the RTC quite useless if it is expected to preserve the
time on hardware that has a battery-buffered supply for the RTC.

Let boards that have a buffered supply for the RTC force the BSM to the
desired value via devicetree by setting the 'backup-switch-mode' property.

That way the RTC on the boards work as one would expect them to do without
any per-board intervention through userspace tools to enable BSM.

Frieder Schrempf (7):
  dt-bindings: rtc: Move RV3028 to separate binding file
  dt-bindings: rtc: Add backup-switch-mode property
  dt-bindings: rtc: microcrystal,rv3032: Add backup-switch-mode property
  rtc: Move BSM defines to separate header for DT usage
  rtc: class: Support setting backup switch mode from devicetree
  arm64: dts: imx8mm-kontron: Remove useless trickle-diode-disable from
    RTC node
  arm64: dts: imx8mm-kontron: Enable backup switch mode for RTC on OSM-S
