How to configure a RPI4 to use the Witty pi5 rx8025 RTC as hardware clock ?

I tried

dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,rx8025,i2c_address=0x51

, but here's the output of hwclock -r:

hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.

The RTC on the Witty Pi 5 isn't directly connected to the Raspberry Pi. It connects to the MCU, which emulates an I2C device for the Raspberry Pi.

You can not use the rx8025 driver directly.
