Subject: Re: [rtc-linux] [PATCH] rtc: rp5c01 - Add NVRAM support

Hi Geert ,

Minior comment below:

2010/6/13 Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>:
> The Ricoh RP5C01 RTC contains 26 x 4 bits of NVRAM.

Firstly, this 'Question' text should not put here, please put all
texts in front of '---'.
Secondly, You can not use rtc-device.ops_lock here, if so, it would
arouse dead lock,
before the ' rp5c01_read_time()' was called by RTC subsystem upper
API, rtc-device.ops_lock
has been required sucessfully, If continue to require the
rtc-device.ops_lock in ' rp5c01_read_time()',
the 'lock' will cannot be get, dead lock occurs.
