The Raspberry Pi 5 has a battery-backed RTC located on the DA9091 PMIC.
Access to the RTC is provided exclusively through the VideoCore firmware
mailbox interface (not via a direct I2C/SPI register interface).
This series adds:
- a DT binding for the "raspberrypi,rpi-rtc" compatible
- the RTC driver that talks to the firmware
- the corresponding DT node for the Raspberry Pi 5 B
The driver and binding are based on (and largely taken from) the
downstream Raspberry Pi kernel. The main changes for upstream are
the addition of a formal DT binding and moving the RTC node out of
the /soc node (it is not an MMIO device).
The driver supports time read/write, alarm, and optional trickle
charging voltage configuration via device-tree.
Testing
-------
- Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B revC
- Kernel: v7.2
- dt_binding_check: passed
- Basic RTC operations (read/write time, alarm) verified
