From c750090085f260503d8beec1c73c4d2e4fe93628 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:11:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic framework Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled: - If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver; - When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default; - In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when the generic framework is in use. People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to. This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver. Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial list of ones where it won't. Or better yet, it would depend on a "HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ... surely there's a Kconfig style guideline lurking there.
