Subject: PATCH: Allow reading CMOS day of week register
Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2006 16:58:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1136825923.6659.33.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Someone wanted access to this usually unused (and unused by Linux) value
for the day of week. Existing kernels have the field in the struct but
return 0 always. This updates the kernel to fill in the field. The usual
case of 'not set' conveniently is 0.
