Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for your promptly response, I try to re-send the email again and 
avoid the security scanner to disrupt the external link.

I found old version kernel doesn't support RTC_PARAM_GET ioctl. In order
support old version kernel testing, is it possible to use rtc procfs to
validate wakealarm function for old version kernel ?

Can I move this rtc alarm validation to
<linux_root>/tools/testing/selftests/rtc/rtctest.c ? So we could try to
use RTC_PARAM_GET ioctl first and then roll back to use rtc procfs if 
RTC_PARAM_GET ioctl was not supported.

Thank you,
Joseph.
