From 9e0cd832222f116105b0d3987d8cadb8604f5854 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Palatin Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:02:16 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver When calling rtc_device_unregister, we are not freeing the id used by the driver. So when doing a unload/load cycle for a RTC driver (e.g. rmmod rtc_cmos && modprobe rtc_cmos), its id is incremented by one. As a consequence, we no longer have neither an rtc0 driver nor a /proc/driver/rtc (as it only exists for the first driver).
