Do you know when/why it broke? Perhaps a Fixes: > tag would be useful, and perhaps a Cc: stable? I don't remember autoloading of rtc-tps6586x.ko has ever worked. Then there is still the issue of rtc modules loaded too late for the kernel (or the kernel not capable to defer the read of hw clock), but that's another issue. I first tried to report the issue on this bug tracker and at that time, autoloading wasn't working (was in 2014). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074002 I'm sure current distros using an arm generic kernel (with all modules) will rebase on kernel 4.4, but technically the bug is present in kernel 3.10 from the oldest current maintained branch (since the driver introduction). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
