    rtc: ds1286: Initialize drvdata before registering device · 9a281a67
    John Stultz 提交于
    Commit f44f7f96 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") uncovered
    an issue in a number of RTC drivers, where the drivers call
    rtc_device_register before initializing the device or platform drvdata.
    
    This frequently results in null pointer dereferences when the
    rtc_device_register immediately makes use of the rtc device, calling
    rtc_read_alarm.
    
    The solution is to ensure the drvdata is initialized prior to registering
    the rtc device.
