... and is it newer than the firmware I downloaded from Spectrum, which does _not_ address the issue at all? One "quick fix" for firmware would be (a) exposing a firmware version code or otherwise letting drivers check for "back rev" firmware, and (b) updating the RTC reports to explicitly include DST mode and AM/PM flags, e.g. by new command codes to return DST-free 24-hour time. Or if backwards compat is not so much of an issue, just get rid of the hidden DST and AM/PM stuff and stick to straight 24 hour UTC. > If so we should switch to Dave's new driver. In the 2.6.18 trees, sure ... it's really not "new" except that it uses the RTC framework, almost all the code is straight from the version from $SUBJECT. So most bugs were carried forward, like in particular the way 4pm is always reported as 4am. - Dave _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
