Indeed if I mask the RTC alarm in IRQ_MASK_A, the intempestive reboot
disappears. But that's not something we can do: the reset driver will
actually be implemented in openSBI at some point where the devices are
probed on-demand (the same applies to u-boot I think), so we cannot
clear or mask anything at boot.

No, the kernel is not up yet. Maybe 16sec is not the right value, I
may have been influenced by the discussion here
https://www.dialog-semiconductor.com/products/pmics?post_id=10052#tab-support_tab_content.

It seems there is some consensus about having this reset driver be a
SiFive Unmatched board specific thing: quid of the sequence I propose
in this patch then? It does not mess with the RTC registers, it
reboots reliably and there's no intempestive reboot: is it dangerous
to use? Or do you have another alternative?

Thanks,
