Hi, Dave,

(In reply to comment #6)
> The bug is that the event was wrongly disabled (why?) ...
Agree.

> the ff_rt_clk file is just showing evidence of that failure.
No, there is a bug in the previous code.
The ff_rt_clk is always "invalid" if you have not read this file when it's
enabled. In order to verify the problem, please try the patch in comment #7.

With your patch applied, the RTC event should always be enabled. right?
IMO, No ACPI code will disable it any more.

I'm not sure about this.
Please retry with the patch applied.
