[PATCH v1 0/2] rtc: cmos: Do not require IRQ if ACPI alarm is used

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi All,

This series of patches allows the CMOS RTC alarm to be used on x86
systems that don't include a functional HPET and may not configure
an IRQ for the CMOS RTC, but have a functional ACPI RTC fixed event.

The first patch allows the ACPI RTC fixed event to be used on systems
without functional HPET because there is no fundamental dependency
between HPET and the ACPI RTC fixed event being hooked up to the CMOS
RTC.

The second patch changes the driver to stop requiring an IRQ to be
configured for the alarm functionality if the ACPI RTC fixed event
is use for signaling events because it require a separate IRQ to
be requested (the ACPI SCI is used for event signaling in that case).

Thanks!
