Sure this macro isn't pretty. The argument is a local variable, which in 
this case, is held in a register. I think the compiler must take care, that 
the register is preserverd for multiple evaluations:

pcf8563_get_time(int minor, rtems_time_of_day *time)
{
	(...)
	uint8_t  info[10];
	uint32_t v1, v2;

	(...)
	v1 = info[PCF8563_HOUR_ADR-PCF8563_SECOND_ADR] & PCF8563_HOUR_MASK;
	/* i. e. v1 = info[2] & 0x3F; */
	time->hour = From_BCD(v1);
	(...)
}

For the other parts minutes, seconds there is pretty similiar c code, 
working perfectly. Only this fragment fail.

Disasembler code is available but i'm nat capable to interpret PPC assembly 
language:

          165|    v1 = info[PCF8563_DAY_ADR-PCF8563_SECOND_ADR] & 
PCF8563_DAY_MASK;
  SF:000C6840|8961000B            lbz       r11,0x0B(r1)   ; r11,11(r1)
          166|    time->day = From_BCD(v1);
  SF:000C6844|5569E7BE            extrwi    r9,r11,0x2,0x1A; 
r9,r11,CTRL_PRECHARGE,26
  SF:000C6848|1D29000A            mulli     r9,r9,0x0A     ; r9,r9,10
  SF:000C684C|556B073E            clrlwi    r11,r11,0x1C   ; r11,r11,GP_18
  SF:000C6850|7D295A14            add       r9,r9,r11
  SF:000C6854|913E0008            stw       r9,0x8(r30)    ; r9,CS0STP(r30)
             |
          168|    v1 = info[PCF8563_HOUR_ADR-PCF8563_SECOND_ADR] & 
PCF8563_HOUR_MASK;
  SF:000C6858|8801000A            lbz       r0,0x0A(r1)    ; r0,10(r1)
          169|    time->hour = From_BCD(v1);
_SF:000C685C|5400077A            rlwinm    r0,r0,0x0,0x1D,0x1D;_r0,r0,0,29,29
  SF:000C6860|901E000C            stw       r0,0x0C(r30)   ; r0,CS1STR(r30)

Defining From_BCD() as an inline function works perfectly.
