With the latest stable kernel versions the rtc on the PXA based Zaurus does not work, when booting I see the following kernel messages: pxa-rtc pxa-rtc: failed to find rtc clock source pxa-rtc pxa-rtc: Unable to init SA1100 RTC sub-device pxa-rtc: probe of pxa-rtc failed with error -2 hctosys: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) I think this is because commit f2997775b111 ("rtc: sa1100: fix possible race condition") moved the allocation of the rtc_device struct out of sa1100_rtc_init and into sa1100_rtc_probe. This means that pxa_rtc_probe also needs to do allocation for the rtc_device struct, otherwise sa1100_rtc_init will try to dereference a null pointer. This patch adds that allocation by copying how sa1100_rtc_probe in drivers/rtc/rtc-sa1100.c does it; after the IRQs are set up a managed rtc_device is allocated. I've tested this patch with `qemu-system-arm -machine akita` and with a real Zaurus SL-C1000 applied to 4.19, 5.4, and 5.10.
