Visually?

That would explain why it doesn't work for you. The mainline RTC driver
disables auto-switch feature, and if your board doesn't have a crystal for LOSC,
RTC will not generate a clock for the RTC.

H6's dtsi describes by default a situatiuon with external 32k crystal
oscillator. See ext_osc32k node. That's incorrect for your board if it doesn't
have the crystal. You need to fix this in the DTS for your board instead of
patching the driver.

The driver has parent clock selection logic in case the LOSC crystal is not
used.

Your patch enables automatic detection of LOSC failure and RTC changes clock
to LOSC automatically, despite what's described in the DTS. That may fix the
issue, but is not the correct solution.

Registers on my board look like this (external 32k osc is used) for reference:

LOSC_CTRL_REG[7000000]: 8011
	KEY_FIELD                      ???                  (0)
	LOSC_AUTO_SWT_BYPASS           EN                   (1)
	LOSC_AUTO_SWT_EN               DIS                  (0)
	EXT_LOSC_EN                    EN                   (1)
	EXT_LOSC_GSM                   LOW                  (0)
	BATTERY_DIR                    DISCHARGE            (0)
	LOSC_SRC_SEL                   EXT32k               (1)

LOSC_AUTO_SWT_STA_REG[7000004]: 1
	EXT_LOSC_STA                   OK                   (0)
