Marek,

I wasn't on the linux-clk list at that time so can't respond to the
thread but the discussion seems to have died out a couple of months
ago with no agreement between you or Stephen on how to deal with it.

So where do we take this from here? It looks like there are about 18
boards with dt's using "rohm,bd718*" which would all have non working
RTC/WDOG with CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_BD718XX enabled (which it is in
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig) right?

$ git grep "rohm,bd718" arch/ | cut
-d: -f1
