rtc: update to class device removal patches

2007-05-08T18:15:18Z

Fix a goof in the revised classdev support for RTCs: make sure the /dev node info is ready before the device is registered, not after. Otherwise the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/dev attribute won't be created and then udev won't have the information it needs to create the /dev/rtcN node.

rtc: simplified /proc/driver/rtc handling

2007-05-08T18:15:18Z

This simplifies the RTC procfs support by removing the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. If it's configured, then sysfs support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It also removes the class_interface hook, now that its last remaining user is gone. (That API is usable only with a "struct class_device".) It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device".

rtc: rtc interfaces don't use class_device

2007-05-08T18:15:18Z

This patch removes class_device from the programming interface that the RTC framework exposes to the rest of the kernel. Now an rtc_device is passed, which is more type-safe and streamlines all the relevant code.

rtc: remove /sys/class/rtc-dev/*

2007-05-08T18:15:18Z

This simplifies the /dev support by removing a superfluous class_device (the /sys/class/rtc-dev stuff) and the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. Accordingly, if it's configured then /dev support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device".
