rx6110_set_time(9)

💖 NAME 💖

hey bestie, welcome to rx6110_set_time(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the function that puts the current date and time into the rx6110’s registers ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int rx6110_set_time (struct device *dev , struct rtc_time *tm );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the rtc device that’s in use for this whole situation 🫶
• tm — carries the date and time you’re handing over 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the plot twist, and it’s a BUG bestie 😭 the hardware (HW) assumes every year that is a multiple of 4 is a leap year. the next time that assumption is wrong is 2100, because 2100 will not be a leap year 💀

📝 NOTE 📝

here’s the tea: if STOP is not set/cleared, the clock will start when the seconds register is written 👀 don’t say I didn’t warn you 🫶
