[PATCH] rtc: omap: wait for !BUSY before reading time for the power-off alarm
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Sun Oct 04 2026 - 17:59:37 EST
omap_rtc_power_off_program() reads the time registers to arm ALARM2
one second ahead, but does not wait for STATUS.BUSY to clear first,
unlike omap_rtc_read_time(). The time registers must not be accessed
while BUSY is set, as the counters may be partway through an update.
A read during an update can return, for example, seconds already
wrapped to 0 with minutes still at the old value. The rollover check
after arming only compares the seconds register, which no longer
changes, so it passes and ALARM2 is armed for a time that has already
passed. Power-off or rtc-only suspend then waits for an alarm that
does not fire as intended.
Call rtc_wait_not_busy() before the read, as omap_rtc_read_time()
does. Both callers run with local interrupts disabled, as the access
window requires.
