Hi,
Sashiko found issues, not introduced by your patch, but still. I
curated the list and left only those which I think are valid. Do you
have time to look at these issues?
Thank you and happy hacking,
Wolfram
> Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:

> Pre-existing issues:
> - [High] Asynchronous pm_runtime_put() is used instead of pm_runtime_put_sync() before runtime PM is disabled, potentially leaving the device powered on.
> - [High] If the optional 'xtal' clock is missing, readl_poll_timeout() loops forever with a 0 timeout, risking a boot hang.
> - [High] The driver's `remove` callback prematurely disables hardware interrupts and drops the runtime PM reference while the RTC device is still fully registered.

[wsa] Or maybe not use devm then?
