4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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().
