| |
Hello
Not a bug report, nothing critical (hopefully), just a question - in rtc.c driver on time-set ioctl() the following is done: save_freq_select = CMOS_READ(RTC_FREQ_SELECT); CMOS_WRITE((save_freq_select|RTC_DIV_RESET2), RTC_FREQ_SELECT); which writes 0x7X to rtc regs=ister 0xA... Why? I read a few documents and all agree on, what's expressed in one of them as "bits 4-6 should be 0x2, other values don't do anything useful on PCs, really..." VERY curious...
Thanks Guennadi --- Guennadi Liakhovetski
