This was also my first thought when I read the HW manual.

It has been done like this to follow the HW manual. According to HW manual
[1], chapter 22.3.19 RTC Control Register 2 (RCR2), initial value of START
bit is undefined.

If it's 1 while probing but it has never been initialized, we can falsely
detect that RTC is started and skip the rest of the initialization steps.
W/o initialization configuration, the RTC will not be able to work.

Even with this implementation we don't loose the time b/w reboots. Here is
the output on my board [2]. The steps I did were the following:
1/ remove the power to the board (I don't have a battery for RTC installed
   at the moment)
2/ boot the board and issue hwclock -w
3/ reboot
4/ check the systime and rtc time
5/ poweroff
6/ poweron
7/ boot and check systime and RTC time

As you can see the time is not lost but continue to increment. I presume
the hardware takes into account that time needs to increment when initial
configuration is executed.

OK, I wasn't aware of this. I think I followed this approach as it looked
to me the number of operation to update the hardware registers was lower
for 12h mode.

I'll adjust as proposed.

2000-2099 was my first option for this but then I saw one of your old
commits on this topic and, since I'm not very familiar with RTC,
I took it as example. I'll adjust as you proposed.

    rtc: sh: set range

    The SH RTC is a BCD RTC with some version having 4 digits for the year.

    The range for the RTCs with only 2 digits for the year was unfortunately
    shifted to handle 1999 to 2098.
