From 1efd325fbadc02c1338e0ef676f0a6669b251c7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 11:30:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix RTC wakealarm sysfs interface breakage. Commit ed458df4d2470adc02762a87a9ad665d0b1a2bd4 ("PnP: move pnpacpi/pnpbios_init to after PCI init") moved the PnP RTC discovery later, and now the ACPI RTC glue code doesn't find it any more, breaking the RTC wakealarm sysfs interfaces, as reported by Rafael. This really is fairly messy, and we have several annoying ordering constraints here - the PnP code that sets up the RTC resources wants to run after the PCI resources have to be registered, which in turn needs to run after ACPI has at least enumerated the root PCI buses etc. Our initcall ordering is not fine-grained enough to make this all painless. So this moves the ACPI RTC glue ("acpi_rtc_init()") down to a regular module call, which fixes the problem Rafael has. The reason this isn't wonderful is that we really should do acpi_rtc_init before we do the rtc_cmos init, and now those two are in the same module_init() section. Which happens to work, but only because drivers/rtc is linked after drivers/acpi. In other words, we still have a very subtle ordering issue here. Grr. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.
