Subject: Re: rtc: isl1208: avoid possible sysfs race

Hi,

just for clarification:
This changes user-space representation from
/sys/class/rtc/rtcN/device/{atrim,dtrim,usr}
to
/sys/class/rtc/rtcN/{atrim,dtrim,usr}
and fixes the "mistake made back in 2006" you mention in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/881397/
correct?

Regards Denis
