Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.5.4_1 aarch64 Unknown uptodate hold rDFF
Package(s) Affected
linux6.5
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
The system clock shows the correct time.
The system is also able to establish an internet connection.
Actual behaviour
The system time is set to the 1st of January 1970.
The system cannot establish an internet connection.
Steps to reproduce
Install linux6.5:
sudo xbps-install linux6.5
boot linux6.5 when rebooting.
The issue here is that Linux6.5 does not have CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RK808=m but Linux6.4 does, which is why the listed issues do not happen there.
The driver behind this is called rtc_rk808 and is used and needed on the Pine64 RockPro64 for example.
Please enable this option in the kernel. Thank you very much!

Research direction
Review the linux6.5 package configuration and compare its kernel options with linux6.4, focusing on CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RK808. Confirm the option is enabled as a module, then boot linux6.5 on the reported RockPro64 setup and verify that the clock and internet connection work.
