[PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: rtc: Add NXP PCF8525 RTC
From: Shiv Prakash Gupta
Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 04:40:36 EST
Add a Devicetree binding for the NXP PCF8525 I2C RTC. Describe the
optional INTA interrupt used for RTC alarm and timestamp events, and
the INTB interrupt used by the watchdog.
Add properties to select the external crystal load capacitance and
temperature-compensation crystal model. Also allow the common
start-year, wakeup-source and reset-source properties, with
reset-source enabling watchdog registration
