Hi
I have a RTC rv3028 on my system. It sits on i2c-2 at address 0x52.
I want it to update the system time with a correct time at each start of
system regardless contact to internet time or not. I have no need of the
alarm functions.
RV3028 is really low power and claim to be accurate.
I have checked it working using i2cset and i2cget.
Now I want to have the system use it instead of the one not backed up
battery.
I found out that the most important registers of rv3028 are at the same
place as for the ds3231 that the kernel supports. This made me try
$ echo ds3231 0x52 > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-2/device/new_device
and what I hoped happened. The /dev/rtc1 was created and responded with
the set time from
$ hwclock -r -f /dev/rtc1
But I still have some steps to take to make everything work. The system
should use the clock as /dev/rtc and use it at startup, correct the time
and so forth.
I thought of using overlays, there is an overlay for ds3031 which codes for
another i2c address.
Is it possible/enough to change bus and address of an existing ds3031
overlay like

to make it work for the rv3028?
