SubjectRe: [PATCH 4.19 177/639] rtc: ds1307: rx8130: Fix alarm handling

So the comment explains why WADA bit needs to be clear.

But then code is changed to preserve WADA bit while it was clearing it
before.

What is going on here?

Given WADA bit is already clear, is it -stable material?

Best regards,
Pavel
