From: David Brownell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A bugzilla entry (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580)
reports that some PNPACPI tables don't list RTC devices; they are
instead glommed into a generic "system resources" entry.
Address that on x86 (while ignoring ia64, the other user of ACPI) by
having ACPI glue check for that case, and if necessary then setting
up a platform device and having rtc_cmos use it.
Seems like a candidate for 2.6.27-final and for backporting. There's a
Fedora kernel report for this too. Workaround is simple (see the bug
report) but less functional.
