From 51218298a25e6942957c5595f2abf130d47d5df9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Belloni Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2017 00:01:46 +0200 Subject: alarmtimer: Ensure RTC module is not unloaded When registering the rtc device to be used to handle alarm timers, get_device is used to ensure the device doesn't go away but the module can still be unloaded. Call try_module_get to ensure the rtc driver will not go away.
