the following patch was just integrated into master: commit f943901777990554e3f5fb27b63613f6cd95c958 Author: Patrick Georgi patrick.georgi@secunet.com Date: Thu Nov 15 14:54:05 2012 +0100
mc146818rtc: disable RTC before writing to nvram
In principle this isn't necessary. However there's a byte (or several) outside the first 14 bytes that are part of the RTC, and require locking (century/altCentury).
Since their location is mostly unknown, guard writes properly.
