Subject: [PATCH] rtc_sysfs_show_hctosys(): display 0 if resume failed
Without this patch /sys/class/rtc/$CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE/hctosys
contains a 1 (meaning "This rtc was used to initialize the system
clock") even if setting the time by do_settimeofday() at bootup failed.
The RTC can also be used to set the clock on resume, if it did 1,
otherwise 0. Previously there was no indication if the RTC was used
to set the clock in resume.
This uses only CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE for conditional compilation
instead of it and CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS to be more consistent.
rtc_hctosys_ret was moved to class.c so class.c no longer depends on
hctosys.c.

Sounds good, I was just trying to keep it short.

Too much history apparently. The obvious bug is
the previous commit to rtc-sysfs.c
d0ab4a4d5094e5d17b103dc5073529a04f00a469
failed to check if the clock set function succeeded at boot.
This also includes the results of setting or not the system clock at
the last resume operation instead of continuing to only return the
boot clock set operation.
My original goal came from the Nokia N900 2.6.28.10++ where the RTC
was compiled as a module but Kconfig and Makefile rules required it to
be compiled in to the kernel to use the RTC in resume, but that's not
a code requirement, using the RTC at boot is independent of using the
RTC at resume. There I changed Kconfig and Makefile to continue
compiling it as a module, not include the boot time set rtc-core.c and
allow it to restore the RTC at resume. I went to do the same upstream
and found that the v3.0-rc1 kernel no longer allows the RTC core to be
compiled as a module, but I saw these other issues, so I went ahead
and wrote them up. Currently the RTC is either never used to set the
system time in the kernel, or it allows boot and resume. I'm not sure
if there is value of setting the time at boot but not resume, or at
resume but not boot, but Kconfig/Makefile can support that (without a
source code change with this patch).
