[PATCH 2/3] rtc: mxc: fix crash on boot

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Wed May 04 2011 - 11:32:41 EST


Commit f44f7f96a20 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") caused a
crash using the mxc-rtc driver.

The reason is that rtc_device_register() calls rtc_read_alarm() after
that change, when the driver does not have all driver data set up yet.
