I've recently reinstalled my laptop and been taking another hard look at various kernel options. I am a little bit confused about the rtc drivers, and the use of the rtc in general. I can see that I have an rtc device, it exists in both /dev and /proc and it seems to be giving sane values any way I look at it. But I dont actually have any specific driver built for it. I built all the various drivers as modules and loading them appears to make no difference to the operation or values in /proc/drivers/rtc. Is it possible that the device just works as it should without any driver? Can anyone suggest some tests to examine the operation of the rtc? Aside from midi what would practical uses for the rtc even be?
