[PATCH 1/2] rtc: mv: fix potential race condition
From: alexandre . belloni
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 09:02:30 EST
From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Since the driver allocates the IRQ using devm_request_irq(), this means the
IRQ is going to be automatically unregistered by devres after
mv_rtc_remove() returns.
However, mv_rtc_remove() explicitly disables the hardware clock before
devres teardown happens so the interrupt handler may run while the clock is
disabled leading to a possible bus hang when accessing registers.
