      drivers/rtc/rtc-at91rm9200.c: use a variable for storing IMR · 0ef1594c
      Nicolas Ferre 提交于
      On some revisions of AT91 SoCs, the RTC IMR register is not working.
      Instead of elaborating a workaround for that specific SoC or IP version,
      we simply use a software variable to store the Interrupt Mask Register
      and modify it for each enabling/disabling of an interrupt.  The overhead
      of this is negligible anyway.
      
      The interrupt mask register (IMR) for the RTC is broken on the AT91SAM9x5
      sub-family of SoCs (good overview of the members here:
      http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/AT91SAM9x5 ).  The "user visible
      effect" is the RTC doesn't work.
      
      That sub-family is less than two years old and only has devicetree (DT)
      support and came online circa lk 3.7 .  The dust is yet to settle on the
      DT stuff at least for AT91 SoCs (translation: lots of stuff is still
      broken, so much that it is hard to know where to start).
      
      The fix in the patch is pretty simple: just shadow the silicon IMR
      register with a variable in the driver.  Some older SoCs (pre-DT) use the
      the rtc-at91rm9200 driver (e.g.  obviously the AT91RM9200) and they should
      not be impacted by the change.  There shouldn't be a large volume of
      interrupts associated with a RTC.
