[PATCH V3 0/2] rtc-cmos: Workaround unwanted interrupt generation

[Pratyush Anand]

We have observed on few machines with rtc-cmos devices that it generates
an interrupt before the hpet_rtc_timer_init() call is finished. This leads
to hpet_rtc_interrupt() being called before it is fully initialized.

Therefore the while-loop of hpet_cnt_ahead() in hpet_rtc_timer_reinit()
never completes. This leads to "NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP
on cpu 0".

This patch set initializes hpet_default_delta and hpet_t1_cmp before
interrupt can be raised.

Changes since V2:
  - Improved commit log further
Changes since RFC:
  - Commit log of patches has been improved.

  rtc/hpet: Factorize hpet_rtc_timer_init()
  rtc/rtc-cmos: Initialize software counters before irq is registered
