    SubjectRe: [PATCH v1 1/5] dt-binding: rtci-pcf8523: add quartz_load property
    Hi,

    You can remove 'rtci-' from the subject.

    The boolean properties usually don't work well for RTCs because people
    usually want to keep any previous configuration that may have been done
    at the factory or in the bootloader so I would use:

    nxp,quartz_load_fF and this would be either 7000 or 12500.
