Drivers for the mc146818 RTC generally check control registers to determine whether a value is encoded as binary or as a binary coded decimal. Setting RTC_ALWAYS_BCD to 1 effectively bypasses these checks and causes drivers to always expect binary coded decimal values, regardless of control register values. This does not seem like a sane default - defaulting to 0 allows the drivers to check control registers to determine encoding type & allows the driver to work generically with both binary & BCD encodings. Set this in mach-generic/mc146818rtc.h such that the generic kernel, or platforms which don't provide a custom mc146818rtc.h, can have an RTC driver which works with both encodings.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
