I have in mind for the genclock interface):
- Recognize the MK48T18 as well (differs from the MK48T08 only in
packaging options and voltages).
- Allow MD code to provide functions for reading/writing NVRAM/RTC
locations.
If passed NULL, the old behaviour using bus_space_{read,write}_1() is
used. Otherwise, all access to the chip goes via the MD functions.
This is necessary for mvmeppc boards where the mk48txx NVRAM/RTC is
not directly addressable.
- Cleanup MI mk48txx(4) todclock driver:
- Prepare mk48txxvar.h and leave only register definitions in
mk48txxreg.h.
- Define struct mk48txx_softc as usual devices and allocate necessary
members in it.
- Change mk48txx_attach() to only take a device_t.
o While converting the sparc64 eeprom driver to the above changes:
- Remove some dead code and stale comments.
- Use the NVRAM size provided by the mk48txx driver instead of hardcoding
it as suggested by a comment.
- Add a comment about why it doesn't make much sense to read the hostid
directly from the NVRAM except for displaying it when attaching.
- Don't print the hostid if it reads all zero because it's stored
elsewhere.
registers are control bits or depending on the model contain additional
time bits with a different meaning than the lower ones. In order to
only read the desired time bits and not change the upper bits on write
use appropriate masks in the gettime and settime function respectively.
Due to the polarity of the stop oscillator bit and the fact that the
century bits aren't used on sparc64 not masking them didn't cause
problems so far.
- Fix two off-by-one errors in the handling of the day of week. The
genclock code represents the dow as 0 - 6 with 0 being Sunday but the
mk48txx use 1 - 7 with 1 being Sunday. In the settime function when
writing the dow to the clock the range wasn't adjusted accordingly but
the clock apparently played along nicely otherwise the second bug in
the gettime function which mapped 1 - 7 to 0 - 6 but with 0 meaning
Saturday would have been triggered. Fixing these makes the date being
stored in the same format Sun/Solaris uses and cures the "Invalid time
in real time clock. Check and reset the date immediately!" when the
date was set under Solaris prior to booting FreeBSD/sparc64. [1]
Looking at other clock drivers/code e.g. FreeBSD/alpha the former "bug",
i.e. storing the dow as 0 - 6 even when the clock uses 1 - 7, seems to
be common but might be on purpose for compatibility when multi-booting
with other OS which do the same. So it might make sense to add a flag
to handle the dow off-by-one for use of this driver on platforms other
than sparc64.
- Check the state of the battery on mk48txx that support this in the
attach function.
- Add a note that use of the century bit should be implemented but isn't
required at the moment because it isn't used on sparc64.

time-of-day clocks, ported from NetBSD. The front-ends are expected
to be at least partly machine-dependent; the sparc64 EBus and SBus
ones will be commited to MD directories for now (in a subsequent commit).
