Issue:
- # hwclock -w
hwclock: RTC_SET_TIME: Invalid argument
Why:
- Relative commit: 8b9f9d4dc511 ("regmap: verify if register is
writeable before writing operations"), this patch
will always check for unwritable registers, it will compare reg
with max_register in regmap_writeable.
- The pcf85363/pcf85263 has the capability of address wrapping
which means if you access an address outside the allowed range
(0x00-0x2f) hardware actually wraps the access to a lower address.
The rtc-pcf85363 driver will use this feature to configure the time
and execute 2 actions in the same i2c write operation (stopping the
clock and configure the time). However the driver has also
configured the `regmap maxregister` protection mechanism that will
block accessing addresses outside valid range (0x00-0x2f).
How:
- Split of writing regs to two parts, first part writes control
registers about stop_enable and resets, second part writes
RTC time and date registers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
