BSM or Backup Switch Mode is a common feature on RTCs, allowing to select how the RTC will decide when to switch from its primary power supply to the backup power supply. It is necessary to be able to set it from userspace as there are uses cases where it has to be done dynamically. Supported values are: RTC_BSM_DISABLED: disabled RTC_BSM_DIRECT: switching will happen as soon as Vbackup > Vdd RTC_BSM_LEVEL: switching will happen around a threshold, usually with an hysteresis RTC_BSM_STANDBY: switching will not happen until Vdd > Vbackup, this is useful to ensure the RTC doesn't draw any power until the device is first powered on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
