Hi Wolfram,

Thanks for continued testing and review of the driver.

No problem here..I'll change these.

I picked this specific approach because the type in the local rtc structure
is unsigned char (matching the struct rtc_wkalrm type) while the passed
parameter 'enabled' is unsigned long. I considered these..
rtc->alarm_enabled = (unsigned char) enabled;
and
rtc->alarm_enabled = !!enabled;

The direct assignment seemed the best approach to avoid some type of cast or
extra logic.

Hmm, this was a good find. If the key value isn't setup correctly, the
boot ROM will clear the RTC counter on power-on reset. The time isn't being
cleared on my board, so something is setting up the key elsewhere. Your
suggested fix is probably the right fix, but I'll review. Sorry - I won't
get updates for this available until next week.
