Hm, did you even read what I wrote?
We don't know what your board is, and if it's in mainline so we can actually look at the code.

As for my board, its based on the Atmel AT91SAM9RLEK board.
This is not an answer to my question.
I assume your code is NOT in mainline.
I inherited this code. So I am still looking through the code to see where the RTC is being set. All I know at the moment is that whenever I power cycle and stop at the Uboot prompt, then type "date" I see that date/time: U-Boot> date at91_rtc_readtime(): 2007-00-01 00:00:xx Date: 2007-00-01 Time: 0:00:xx
xx increments depending on when I type the date command. I just wonder where this year/month is being initialized.
Well, eventually your RTC is not battery buffered, and when it comes up from power-on it initiallizes it's registers with values that, when read out, get interpreted as this specific date.
There is no such function as at91_rtc_readtime() in mainline code, so locate it in your sources, and debug it.
Best regards,
