[PATCH v2 0/2] rtc: pcf2127: proper initialization after power loss

From: Philipp Rosenberger
Date: Wed Jan 13 2021 - 06:29:39 EST


If the PCF2127/2129 loses power it needs some initialization to work
correctly. A bootloader/firmware might do this. If not we should do this
in the driver.

Changes for v2:
- make commit log and comments more clear
- check if PORO was really disabled

Philipp Rosenberger (2):
rtc: pcf2127: Disable Power-On Reset Override
rtc: pcf2127: Run a OTP refresh if not done before
