+ *
+ * Sometimes bit 1 of the RTSR (RTSR_HZ) will wake up 1, which means an
+ * interrupt pending, even though interrupts were never enabled.
+ * In this case, this bit it must be reset before enabling
+ * interruptions to avoid a nonexistent interrupt to occur.
+ *
+ * In principle, the same problem would apply to bit 0, although it has
+ * never been observed to happen.
+ *
+ * This issue is addressed both here and in sa1100_rtc_interrupt().
+ * If the issue is not addressed here, in the times when the processor
+ * wakes up with the bit set there will be one spurious interrupt.
+ *
+ * The issue is also dealt with in sa1100_rtc_interrupt() to be on the
+ * safe side, once the condition that lead to this strange
+ * initialization is unknown and could in principle happen during
+ * normal processing.
+ *
+ * Notice that clearing bit 1 and 0 is accomplished by writting ONES to
+ * the corresponding bits in RTSR. */
