Any other insights are welcomed as well :) To summarize it looks like this? | regmap_write | 0x60 | broken | | regmap_write | 0x6b | works stable | | regmap_update_bits | 0x60 | works only with dbg prints | For me it looks like the debug prints may delay the poweroff driver long enough, that some other driver (rtc?) writes the 0x0b bits. FWIW we can't switch from regmap_write to regmap_update_bits in the syscon driver, since that may break other users. I guess we need to introduce a DT property providing the update mask. Unfortunately the register value property is already named mask :/ -- Sebastian

I'd say yes but you never know... You can also use the kernel tracin infrastructure to trace every accesses made to that regmap. That could give you a hint. At least you can try a regmap_read before returning from snvs_rtc_alarm_irq_enable() and see whether SNVS_LPCR_LPTA_EN and SNVS_LPCR_LPWUI_EN are still there.

It reads and prints the value of the control register after the write & sync operation. Immediately after the write to /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm the register value is correct (0x2b). However, during the shutdown process the function is called again via the rtc_timer_do_work(). I still do not fully understand this flow. This call is done with the enable parameter == 1, but my debug print shows 0x29, meaning the LPTA_EN bit stays low. My current guess is that the clear of LPTA_EN in snvs_rtc_set_alarm have internal race with the afterward bit set. I'll try to check this and update.

Adding rtc_write_sync_lp after the LPTA_EN clear solved the issue. The data sheet mentions that clearing this flag can take few cycles and that the alarm can only be programmed with the flag low. I'll send a patch soon. Thanks for the help. Guy.
