Subject: [PATCH V2] rtc: snvs: fix possible race condition
Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2019 11:01:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190719030102.6141-1-Anson.Huang@nxp.com> (raw)

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@nxp.com>

The RTC IRQ is requested before the struct rtc_device is allocated,
this may lead to a NULL pointer dereference in IRQ handler.

To fix this issue, allocating the rtc_device struct and register rtc
device before requesting the RTC IRQ.

Using devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device instead of
devm_rtc_device_register.

Changes since V1:
	- move devm_request_irq() to after rtc device register done, make sure everything
	  is ready before enabling IRQ.
