-gerrit commit db211067bfe2f58578c4cd314f3b8dd956fde173 Author: Vincent Palatin <[email protected]> Date: Tue Aug 7 16:05:14 2012 -0700 rtc: force mc146818 register D to a correct value On Panther Point PCH (and maybe cougar point), when some of the register D reserved bits are set, the RTC starts misbehaving (e.g. incrementing the year byte every second). There are probably undocumented features implemented behind those bits. Let's reset register D to a known state to ensure we get the expected RTC behavior.
