The patch titled rtc: fx error case has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is rtc-fix-error-case.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: rtc: fx error case From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx> Ensure RTC driver doesn't use its timer when it doesn't get to set it up (as it cannot currently prevent other of its functions to be called from outside when not built as a module - probably this should also be addressed).
