Sorry I missed this earlier, it fell into my spam box for some reason.
Like Andrew, I think this feels particularly hacky.
Why exactly is late_init too early? (I'm unfamiliar with the
rtc-hid-sensor-time driver)
If this is a hotplug rtc device (why I'm guessing its not available at
late_init), would it not be better to leave the setting of time using
hwclock --hctosys via a udev rule or something?
thanks
