Re: [PATCH v4 1/5] rtc: sysfs: facilitate attribute add to rtc device

Hello,

From: Denis Osterland <redacted>

This patches addresses following problem:
rtc_allocate_device
devm_device_add_group  <-- kernel oops / null pointer, because
			sysfs entry does not yet exist
rtc_register_device
rc = devm_device_add_group
if (rc)
	return rc;     <-- forbidden to return error code
			after device register

In case groups were not yet registered (kobj.state_in_sysfs == 0)
rtc_add_group just addes given group to dev.groups,
otherwise it uses devm_device_add_group.

I don't feel this function is necessary, you can include it in __rtc_add_group

Using devm_device_add_group after RTC registration is racy and should
not be allowed. I would merge __rtc_add_group in rtc_add_group and
return an error if rtc->registered is true.
