From 8853c202b4a91713dbfb4d9b6e1c87cc2aa12392 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:22:03 -0800 Subject: RTC: convert mutex to bitfield RTC code is using mutex to assure exclusive access to /dev/rtc. This is however wrong usage, as it leaves the mutex locked when returning into userspace, which is unacceptable. Convert rtc->char_lock into bit operation.
