Hi,
for my understanding this bug should have been fixed upstream with
kernel 2.6.26.6 from kernel.org. So I'm looking forward for the next
Debian kernel including this patch.
Changelog:
commit 459872ffa5ac2357472118b6a875758a2b11139e

rtc: fix deadlock
commit 38c052f8cff1bd323ccfa968136a9556652ee420 upstream
if get_rtc_time() is _ever_ called with IRQs off, we deadlock badly
in it, waiting for jiffies to increment.
So make the code more robust by doing an explicit mdelay(20).
This solves a very hard to reproduce/debug hard lockup reported
by Mikael Pettersson.
