Currently, the SystemCMOS address space handler is installed for the ACPI RTC devices (PNP0B00/PNP0B01/PNP0B02) only. But there are platforms with SystemCMOS Operetion Region defined under the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (ACPI000E), which is used by the ACPI pre-defined control methods like _GRT (Get the Real time) and _SRT (Set the Real time). When accessing these control methods via the acpi_tad sysfs interface, missing SystemCMOS address space handler causes errors like below [ 478.255453] ACPI Error: No handler for Region [RTCM] (00000000a8d2dd39) [SystemCMOS] (20230331/evregion-130) [ 478.255458] ACPI Error: Region SystemCMOS (ID=5) has no handler (20230331/exfldio-261) [ 478.255461] Initialized Local Variables for Method [_GRT]: [ 478.255461] Local1: 00000000f182542c <Obj> Integer 0000000000000000 [ 478.255464] No Arguments are initialized for method [_GRT] [ 478.255465] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.AWAC._GRT due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20230331/psparse-529) Export two APIs for SystemCMOS address space handler from acpi_cmos_rtc scan handler and install the handler for the ACPI Time and Alarm Device from the ACPI TAD driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
