Where does this register live, exactly? What IP block is it part of?

This sounds like an always-on oneshot timer device, not an RTC.

... if this were a timer, you wouldn't need this hack.

I see that no interrupt is described. How exactly does this wake the system
from suspend? Is there some interrupt managed by FW for this, for example?

There was no binding documentation in this patch series.

Thanks,
