[PATCH 2/3 v2] RFC: timekeeping: rtc: Introduce new kernel parameter hctosys
From: Alexander Holler
Date: Thu Jun 06 2013 - 06:54:04 EST
hctosys= specifies the driver (RTC) name which sets the system clock at
boot, if and only if userspace hasn't set the time before the driver will
be loaded.
If hctosys will not be specified, the first available hardware clock
with a valid time will be used (again, if and only if ...).
If you don't want that the system clock will be set by any hardware clock,
just specify a non-existent RTC driver name, e.g. with hctosys=none.
Currently there exist a special name "persistent" for the persistent clock
found on some systems (e.g. the CMOS clock on x86 platforms which might be
handled by the driver named rtc_cmos too).
This will replace the existent driver/mechanism hctosys and the kernel
config options CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS and CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE (done
with one of the following patches)
