Looks like this will change driver release order and free_irq
will be called after RTC device is unregistered.
I think, you need to request irq first -> then register RTC device.
Right?

Hi Grygorii Strashko,

No, free_irq() will be called before RTC device is unregistered.

In probe(), the following functions are called as below:
1. devm_rtc_device_register() -> rtc_device_register()
2. devm_request_threaded_irq() -> request_threaded_irq()

The release functions will be inversely called.
When removing rtc-twl.
1. devm_irq_release() -> free_irq()
2. devm_rtc_device_release() -> rtc_device_unregister()

Thus, it is safe.
Thank you for your feedback. :-)


You are right. Sorry, my mistake :)

Regards,
-grygorii
