Where are we regarding this entry in the 2.6.26-rc regression list?

I'd agree with David that CONFIG_RTC_CLASS disabling CONFIG_RTC is a fix
and not a 2.6.26-rc regression.

Does anyone disagree with this?


I'm not sure whether this was Lior's problem or another issue I'm seeing
on my computer (static /dev, no udev):

/dev/rtc (major 10, minor 135) does not seem to exist, and I'd call this
a functional regression of the new drivers.

Could this be fixed?
