Could you check if > below fix will work on OMAP3: Yes, your fix works. Thanks for digging into it. Care to send a proper patch? Please be sure to send to Andrew Morton also, since he'll be the one to queue the RTC patch. > diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c > index 8751a52..aaa5015 100644 > --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c > +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c > @@ -469,6 +469,11 @@ static int twl_rtc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) > if (irq <= 0) > goto out1; > > + if (twl_class_is_4030()) > + rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl4030_rtc_reg_map; > + else > + rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl6030_rtc_reg_map; > + > ret = twl_rtc_read_u8(&rd_reg, REG_RTC_STATUS_REG); > if (ret < 0) > goto out1; > @@ -610,11 +615,6 @@ static struct platform_driver twl4030rtc_driver = { > > static int __init twl_rtc_init(void) > { > - if (twl_class_is_4030()) > - rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl4030_rtc_reg_map; > - else > - rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl6030_rtc_reg_map; > - > return platform_driver_register(&twl4030rtc_driver); > } > module_init(twl_rtc_init); > > Unfortunately, I have no OMAP3 HW and can't check it. I suggest you find a Beagle or Gumstix/Overo type board someplace. There is an abundance of cheap OMAP3 hardware available.
