Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] rtc: abx80x: add mutex protection for register writes
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 20:48:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731184831.44037-3-apokusinski01@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731184831.44037-1-apokusinski01@gmail.com>
The ABX80X RTC driver performs multi-step register operations such as
NVMEM transfers or register writes preceded by a configuration key
write. Add a mutex to serialize all the register writes to protect
these sequences against race conditions.
