rtc: pxa: fix null pointer dereference
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 34127b3 upstream.

With the latest stable kernel versions the rtc on the PXA based
Zaurus does not work, when booting I see the following kernel messages:

pxa-rtc pxa-rtc: failed to find rtc clock source
pxa-rtc pxa-rtc: Unable to init SA1100 RTC sub-device
pxa-rtc: probe of pxa-rtc failed with error -2
hctosys: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)

I think this is because commit f299777 ("rtc: sa1100: fix possible
race condition") moved the allocation of the rtc_device struct out of
sa1100_rtc_init and into sa1100_rtc_probe. This means that pxa_rtc_probe
also needs to do allocation for the rtc_device struct, otherwise
sa1100_rtc_init will try to dereference a null pointer. This patch adds
that allocation by copying how sa1100_rtc_probe in
drivers/rtc/rtc-sa1100.c does it; after the IRQs are set up a managed
rtc_device is allocated.

I've tested this patch with `qemu-system-arm -machine akita` and with a
real Zaurus SL-C1000 applied to 4.19, 5.4, and 5.10.
