Where is this lock initialised? I would expect a call to
spin_lock_init() somewhere.

Hm, the spinlock in my irq mux series doesn't have that call either; my
reset driver did have it. The zero initialization appears to work OK,
but you're probably right that it should be there.

I also wonder what this lock is protecting, which rtc->ops_lock does
not protect?

By that same argument we could ask why so many drivers (and mine, too)
are calling rtc_valid_tm() when __rtc_read_time() calls it again...

The downstream code is locking inside individual functions such as
check_acr or set_enabled; I adopted it for whole operations only, but
you're right that so far it matches the RTC class ops granularity, so I
can drop it again. The latching discussion had reminded me of locking.

Cheers,
Andreas
