Switch the parent of the nvmem device to the parent of the rtc device so it can be registered before the RTC. This is a small change in the ABI as the nvmem moves out of the /sys/class/rtc/rtcX folder to be under the parent device folder (that is where the previous nvram files where registered). However, it is still available under its correct location, /sys/bus/nvmem/devices which is the one that should be used by userspace applications. The other benefit is that the nvmem device can stay registered even if the rtc registration fails. Or it is possible to not register the rtc if the nvmem registration failed. Finally, it makes a lot of sense for devices that actually have different i2c or spi addresses for the RTC and the EEPROM. That is basically how it would end up when using MFD or even completely separate devices. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
