If some functions (e.g., s3c_rtc_settime) accesses the rtc register
by using info->base before the initialization of info->base in s3c_rtc_probe,
I thought that null pointer error would happen.

But, I missed one point which info->base might have the garbate data instead of NULL.
I'll add the initialization code for info->base.
info->base = NULL;

If you don't agree it, I'll drop this code checking the state of info->base on next patchset(v3).

Best Regads,
Chanwoo Choi
