I had a look at the driver and I guess you have a 9063AD while Steve
uses another model.

That explains why you need the uie_unsupported flag. The 9063AD can only
do alarms on a minute boundary.

Since the move to hr_timer, the uie are done using the classic alarm or
they are emulated by the core. This improved the situation for many RTCs
that don't have a separate UIE but this made it worse for a few (and
this is an example). I have plan to work on this but didn't have the
time yet.

I suggest the following patch:

Subject: [PATCH] rtc: da9063: set uie_unsupported when relevant

The DA9063AD doesn't support alarms on any seconds and its granularity is
the minute. Set uie_unsupported in that case.
