[Gnewsense-dev] [loongson-support 09/27] enable Real Time Clock Support for fuloong(2e)

[wuzhangjin]

From: Wu Zhangjin <address@hidden>

by default, RTC_LIB is selected by MIPS, but if RTC_LIB is enabled,
Enhanced Real Time Clock Support(RTC) will be disabled, so, to enable
it, not select RTC_LIB in LEMOTE_FULOONG2E will fix this problem.

RTC support is needed by some tools like hwclock, if you want hwclock
work well, these two jobs need to do:

kernel configuration:

Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<*> Enhanced Real Time Clock Support (legacy PC RTC driver)

user-space configuration:

$ mknod /dev/rtc c 10 135

and there is another RTC support in linux, whose kernel option is
RTC_CLASS, it should be fixed for fuloong(2e) via enabling the binary
mode in driver/rtc/rtc-cmos.c and register the RTC device resource in a
machine specific rtc.c

to make hwclock work with it normally, please do:

kernel configuration:

Device Drivers --->
<*> Real Time Clock --->
        <*>   PC-style 'CMOS'

user-space configuration:

$ mknod /dev/rtc0 c 254 0

/dev/rtc0 is the default RTC device file.
