Subject: RTC: Remove the BKL.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=048cd5888f81713af4597bde5815f32d58fdf5b0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

RTC: Remove the BKL.

Remove calls to the BKL since concurrent access is protected
by the spin lock rtc_lock.
