Hi!

There is a function in the RTC driver code used to calibrate the
clock, which is define in the datasheet.
However, Alexandre Belloni raised concerns that clock calibration
should be done using GPS or similar
methods, rather than using other clock sources. I think what he said
makes sense. So it is necessary
to communicate with IC designers.
