[patch 2.6.27 mmotm] rtc-cmos: export second NVRAM bank

From: David Brownell
Date: Fri Sep 12 2008 - 13:40:33 EST


From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Teach rtc-cmos about the second bank of registers found on most
modern x86 systems, giving access to 128 bytes more NVRAM.

This version only sees that extra NVRAM when both register banks
are provided as part of *one* PNP resource. Since BIOS on some
systems presents them using two IO resources, and nothing merges
them, this can't always show all the NVRAM. (We're supposed to
be able to use PNP id PNP0b01 too, but BIOS tables doesn't often
seem to use that particular option.)
