The patch titled acpi: cope with PNPACPI tables missing an RTC entry has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was acpi-cope-with-pnpacpi-tables-missing-an-rtc-entry.patch This patch was dropped because it's officially revolting The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: acpi: cope with PNPACPI tables missing an RTC entry From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> A bugzilla entry (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580) reports that some PNPACPI tables don't list RTC devices; they are instead glommed into a generic "system resources" entry. Address that on x86 (while ignoring ia64, the other user of ACPI) by having ACPI glue check for that case, and if necessary then setting up a platform device and having rtc_cmos use it. Seems like a candidate for 2.6.27-final and for backporting. There's a Fedora kernel report for this too. Workaround is simple (see the bug report) but less functional.
