gen_rtc was hooked up to the powerpc platform ppc_md.set_rtc_time and ppc_md.get_rtc_time via the arch specific get_rtc_time() and set_rtc_time() routines. >From what I can tell, those generic rtc routines the powerpc arch provides are not properly hooked into the new rtc subsystem. This causes problems for multi-platform builds where some platforms must use gen_rtc, and some must the new rtc subsytem. -Geoff _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
