Hi Andrew,

How about this patch?
Do you think this change is necessary?

It's not very helpful to only say "I changed it".  _why_ did you change
it?  What change did you make?  What was wrong with the old code and
what's better about the new code?

I can see that the patch makes two changes: it adds an mdelay(1) to the
polling loop and it changes the return value from ENODEV to EPERM if
the loop timed out.

But I don't have the faintest idea _why_ the changes were made!


So.  I merged the patch without a changelog.  Please send a changelog
for this patch which permits others to understand the change.

Hi Andrew ,

The patch makes two changes:
(1) it adds an mdelay(1) to the polling loop

Here I change the 'for' loop to 'while' loop and and add an mdelay(1),
which can make less access to the hardware register.

(2) it changes the return value from ENODEV to EPERM if the loop timed out.

I think the 'Operation not permitted' description is more suitable for
the meaning
of 'check_rtc_access_enable()' function, it just be used to judge rtc
access operation is permitted or not.
