rtc pcf85163 chip return back to 1970 issue

[hwo]

Hi all,

I have a mx28 board with a NXP PCF85163 rtc chip using i2c bus.

Recently I found when set the time to the last minutes of the year(take 2016-12-31 23:59:00 as an example), and one minute later rtc time turn to 1970-1-1 00:00:00

Test for any time but other than the last day of a year is OK.

Is this the chip's problem?       Any one came across similar problem ever?

Thanks in advance!

Hello hk,

      The question is the same as that of a Chinese customer, I don't know whether you are same people, if you can understand Chinese, see the link, please!

     The chinese customer found and solved the issue, the root cause is : The valuse of register for Month starts from 1, but in kernel, 1 is taken from the value and access arry, so error will occur.

Best regards,
