Subject: [PATCH] rtc-cmos: do not call rtc_update_irq when cmos->rtc is
uninitialized
Hi all,
I have a 32 bit kernel compiled with:
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS
that crashes reliably on boot on xen with the following stack trace:

the same kernel config works on 2.6.38.
Note that running on Xen means that hpet is not available.
The problem seems to be that cmos_do_probe calls rtc_device_register
that ends up calling cmos_checkintr (see stack trace), however at this
point cmos->rtc is still NULL because cmos->rtc gets a value only when
rtc_device_register returns.
It seems that on 2.6.38 a call to rtc_device_register didn't result in a
call to cmos_checkintr so the problem didn't happen.
It is probably not the correct fix, but the following patch fixes the
crash for me:
