Subject: [patch-2.4.0-test8-pre5] bugfixes for rtc driver
Hi Linus,
The rtc driver does:
a) not handle failures from misc_register() gracefully
b) not handle failures from create_proc_read_entry() gracefully
c) uses check_region() where request_region() would suffice
The patch below fixes these issues/bugs.
Regards,
Tigran
