Hi Benoit

It won't fix your problem, but if the built in RTC is not usable, it
would be good to disable it in the .dts file. The i2c RTC will then
become RTC0.


The actual "error" message is odd:
"hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc1 to wait for clock tick timed out: Success"

Success means it actually worked, not an error. Does the RTC contain
the correct time afterwards?
