This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rtc: s3c: Add s3c_rtc_{enable/disable}_clk in s3c_rtc_setfreq() to the 4.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rtc-s3c-add-s3c_rtc_-enable-disable-_clk-in-s3c_rtc_setfreq.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 70c96dfac0e231424e17743bd52f6cd2ff1f2439 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alim Akhtar <alim.akhtar@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2016 15:28:53 +0530 Subject: rtc: s3c: Add s3c_rtc_{enable/disable}_clk in s3c_rtc_setfreq() From: Alim Akhtar <alim.akhtar@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 70c96dfac0e231424e17743bd52f6cd2ff1f2439 upstream. As per code flow s3c_rtc_setfreq() will get called with rtc clock disabled and in set_freq we perform h/w registers read/write, which results in a kernel crash on exynos7 platform while probing rtc driver. Below is code flow: s3c_rtc_probe() clk_prepare_enable(info->rtc_clk) // rtc clock enabled s3c_rtc_gettime() // will enable clk if not done, and disable it upon exit s3c_rtc_setfreq() //then this will be called with clk disabled This patch take cares of such issue by adding s3c_rtc_{enable/disable}_clk in s3c_rtc_setfreq().
