Subject: RTC: Prevents a division by zero in kernel code.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=83a06bf50bdf2074b9404951ff60e142d159d93b;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

RTC: Prevents a division by zero in kernel code.

This patch prevents a user space program from calling the RTC_IRQP_SET
ioctl with a negative value of frequency. Also, if this call is make
with a zero value of frequency, there would be a division by zero in the
kernel code.

[jstultz: Also initialize irq_freq to 1 to catch other divbyzero issues]
