Because unless drivers/char/Kconfig is getting changed to prevent that is
is possible to enable CONFIG_GEN_RTC, so this code was necessary for
correctness.
Sorry I don't understand...
Aside I think it did simply propagate through cutnpaste.
That at least was the reason in the 2.4 days when the old kernel
configuration language made it way to painful to deal with such
configurations. These days I think we should rather get rid of genrtc.
I think so...
Genrtc used to be nice candy but like most sweets long term it results in
caries ;-)
