Subject: [PATCH V2 3/5] rtc: stmp3xxx: Initialize drvdata before registering device
Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 12:56:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1306321013-28364-4-git-send-email-w.sang@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1306321013-28364-1-git-send-email-w.sang@pengutronix.de>

Commit f44f7f96a20 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") uncovered
an issue in a number of RTC drivers, where the drivers call
rtc_device_register before initializing the device or platform drvdata.

This frequently results in null pointer dereferences when the
rtc_device_register immediately makes use of the rtc device, calling
rtc_read_alarm.

The solution is to ensure the drvdata is initialized prior to registering
the rtc device.
