From ac75779b72fd52741d7446ad27cf6d58c006c643 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Belloni Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 21:58:02 +0100 Subject: rtc: nvmem: allow registering the nvmem device before the rtc Switch the parent of the nvmem device to the parent of the rtc device so it can be registered before the RTC. This is a small change in the ABI as the nvmem moves out of the /sys/class/rtc/rtcX folder to be under the parent device folder (that is where the previous nvram files where registered). However, it is still available under its correct location, /sys/bus/nvmem/devices which is the one that should be used by userspace applications. The other benefit is that the nvmem device can stay registered even if the rtc registration fails. Or it is possible to not register the rtc if the nvmem registration failed. Finally, it makes a lot of sense for devices that actually have different i2c or spi addresses for the RTC and the EEPROM. That is basically how it would end up when using MFD or even completely separate devices.
