[PATCH 2/3] rtc: pcf2127: Add support for the clkout clock

From: Herve Codina

Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 08:13:38 EST


All devices handled by the pcf2127 driver (i.e. PCF2127, PCF2129,
PCA2129 and PCF2131) have support for an output clock available at their
CLKOUT pins.

The clock frequency can be configured from 1 Hz to 32768 Hz and the
clock can be fully disabled putting the CLKOUT pin in HiZ.

Add support for this clkout output clock.
