1) could a #ifdef __powerpc__ not be enough ?No. _machine is only defined for the "multiarch" config (PREP/CHRP/PMAC)Ok. I suppose it doesn't make sense also to include the #ifdef CONFIG_ALL_PPC in a #ifdef __powerpc__ ?Yup, useless to stack them.quoted

2) The other failures in rtc_init return -EIO, not -ENODEV.Well, in this case, -ENODEV makes more sense, though nothing really cares except the kind of error message the user will get when using it as a module.I think i will keep it as the others for the debian package.Why ? The error is definitely not an IO error :) Nothing really relies on this error code anyway...
So, would it be meaningfull to change all the others to NODEV too ? Friendly, Sven Luther ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
