From f4e708ae8e5f3eb98f4c53036c0a470717bbc709 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfram Sang Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 11:46:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rtc: davinci: Initialize drvdata before registering device Commit f44f7f96a20 ("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.
