Hello Conor,

Thanks for your review.

According to RTC module's clocking scheme for S32G2/S32G3 SoCs, it has 
three potential clock sources to select between:
   1. FIRC:
     - fast clock - ~48 MHz output
     - chosen by default because it is proven to be more reliable (e.g: 
temperature drift).
   2. SIRC:
     - slow clock - ~32 kHz output
     - When in Standby mode, SIRC_CLK is the only available clock for 
RTC. This is important because RTC module is used as a wakeup source 
from Suspend to RAM on S32G2/S32G3 SoC. Therefore, a temporary switch to 
SIRC clock is performed when entering Suspend to RAM.

   3. EXT_CLK:
     - has not been tested/validated for those SoCs within NXP's 
downstream Linux. Therefore, I did not treat it, nor mention it, for the 
moment.

Now to answer your question, all above clocks are entering a 
RTCC[CLKSEL] (RTCC - RTC Control Register) mux. Therefore, a selection 
can be made, according to one's needs.

I will add a shorter version of above information in the bindings 
documentation in the V2 of this patchset.

As per hardware RTC module clocking scheme, the output of the clock mux 
can be optionally divided by a combination of 512 and 32 (via other two 
input cascaded muxes) to give various count periods for different clock 
sources.

With respect to choosing the divider settings for custom hardware, it 
depends on the clock source being selected and the desired rollover time.
For example, on S32G2 or S32G3 SoC based boards, using FIRC (~48-51 MHz) 
with DIV512 enabled results in a rollover time of aprox. 13 hours.

I will add such information in the V2 of this patchset.
