 I have found the same, BUT, they are not a solution to the issue. The reason 
is that the OS doesn't read the RTC after initial boot sequence, when the 
system clock is initialised. All clock references are to the system clock from 
there on until orderly shutdown when it is updated from the system clock value.
So it will give an accurate time at boot, but the system clock stability will 
predominate from there. My Raspberry Pi which has one of these installed has a 
40ppm clock drift even though the RTC does better. I need NTP to get correct 
it.
