Real Time Clock help
PATCH 1/1 Real Time Clock help
Hi all,
A 'nanny patch' to stop probable confusion over the two RTC options. I needed access to /dev/rtc and not knowing where the option was in menuconfig, I selected the wrong one first. I was confused on the help of the this RTC, but it didn't cross my mind once there was another RTC 'option' available, and so wasted a build and reboot only to see it was wrong.
Hopefully this will aid to stop that confusion.
