...

the 5 minutes auto-poweron problem was caused by the new function
drivers/rtc/interface.c -> rtc_alarm_disable():
...
alarm.time = rtc_ktime_to_tm(ktime_add(rtc_tm_to_ktime(tm),
ktime_set(300, 0)));
alarm.enabled = 0;
...

In this function the RTC alarm shall be disabled. Why do you set up a
5 minutes interval just before disabling the alarm?

I have changed
ktime_set(300, 0)));
to
ktime_set(0, 0)));
and all worked fine with my notebook.

Please check if this could be a common solution of the problem.

With best regards,
Andreas Friedrich
