I get this:

 open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY)              =3D 3
 ioctl(3, PHN_SET_REGS or RTC_UIE_ON, 0) =3D 0
 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {10, 0})     =3D 0 (Timeout)
 ioctl(3, PHN_NOT_OH or RTC_UIE_OFF, 0)  =3D 0
 close(3)                                =3D 0

On all subsequent runs I get this:
 open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY)              =3D 3
 ioctl(3, PHN_SET_REGS or RTC_UIE_ON, 0) =3D -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
 ioctl(3, RTC_RD_TIME, 0x7ffd76b3ae70)   =3D -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
 close(3)                                =3D 0"

This was caused by a stupid typo in a patch that should have been
a simple rename to move around contents of a header file, but
accidentally wrote zeroes into the rtc rather than reading from
it.

I started seeing system reboots and lockups during kernel boot on a=20
prototype HW this week using v4.8-rc1 and bisected to this same commit.

This patch fixes the issue.
