The sequence for updating the time/date registers is slightly
different between PCF2127/29 and PCF2131.

For PCF2127/29, during write operations, the time counting
circuits (memory locations 03h through 09h) are automatically blocked.

For PCF2131, time/date registers write access requires setting the
STOP bit and sending the clear prescaler instruction (CPR). STOP then
needs to be released once write operation is completed.

Replace 0xA4 with (BIT(2) | BIT(5) | BIT(7)) or
(PCF2131_SR_RESET_READ_PATTERN | BIT(7))

This should probably be tied to the actual rtc model rather than the
presence of the reset register.
You MUST clear CPR to be able to set the time precisely.

This really needs to be less verbose. There is nothing a user can really
do after having seen this message. Having an error in userspace will
anyway prompt the user to retry the operation which is the only action
it can do.

In fact you must actually SET the CPR bit to clear the prescaler, confusing!

I was already setting the CPR bit (clearing prescaler), so I modified the confusing comment.

The CPR bit is only present IF the reset register is also present, that is why I simply used the presence of the reset register to take the correct action. This avoids to define a new bit or matching on a device model for that functionality (adding newer models could potentially mean modifying the model match).

But if you absolutely want to match on the model, I would like to know how you would like to practically do it (maybe an example)?

I converted the dev_err messages to dev_dbg.

In the original driver and in the same function, there is also a dev_err to handle regmap_bulk_write() failure. Do you suggest that we also make it less verbose:

err = regmap_bulk_write(pcf2127->regmap, pcf2127->cfg->reg_time_base, buf, i);
 	if (err) {
 		dev_err(dev,

???

You can keep pcf21xx_type around, in pcf21xx_config for example.

yes, you can remove it as part of your previous patches.
