is almost ok, please check my comments below:


buf[0] = DS1672_REG_CNT_BASE;
buf[1] = secs & 0x000000FF;
buf[2] = (secs & 0x0000FF00) >> 8;
buf[3] = (secs & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;
buf[4] = (secs & 0xFF000000) >> 24;
+ buf[5] = 0;

I'd add a comment to say that 0 enables the osc.

+static int ds1672_get_control(struct i2c_client *client)
+{

[..]

+ } else
+ return val;
+}

I think it would be cleaner to define the routine as follow:
.. ds1672_get_control(...., unsigned char *status)

and to usa the space provided by the caller to store the result.

+ if (ds1672_get_control(client))
+ state = "disabled";
+ return sprintf(buf, "%s\n", state);
+}

please #define DS1672_REG_CONTROL_EOSC 0x80
and check the single bit.


+ err = ds1672_get_control(client);

ditto.


thanks for your work!
