This basically revert b4b77f3c280e38cec178f81d7a4d7e65f4045913 So I'm
not sure this is sufficient to ensure the IRQ will never fire.

(I don't know whether this was a real bug or something reported by a
static analysis tool).

G'day Alexandre,
Without this change the wakealarm sysfs is never created.
This is done in rtc_device_register, but a filter to wakealarm attribute 
effectively on
dev->power.can_wakeup flag. Which is set via the init wakeup call.

But looking at that commit and thinking about it some more I can see the problem
b4b77f3c280e38cec178f81d7a4d7e65f4045913 was try to solve.

Looking at other drivers some of them have similar order but use their own 
mutex.
eg rtc-rc8803 and don't use the ops_lock

Or others set device_init_wakeup and then fail if the irq fails to register.

Currently if the ds3232 has an irq set but fails to register the irq it falls 
back
to being a non wakeup source. To me it makes more sense to just fall if the 
config
has an irq defined.

Then we could set device_init_wakeup based on there being an irq prior to 
device_register
and then request the irq after device register. But fail the probe if the irq 
request fails.

Thoughts?


I think you can use device_set_wakeup_capable() afterwards which would
fit this use case. Can you try that?

Anyway, I have a pending rework of the rtc registration that will solve
this issue (and the sysfs attribute creation race).

Nope, doesn't help.
device_init_wakeup already calls device_set_wakeup_capable.

rtc_attr_groups is fetched via rtc_get_dev_attribute_groups
and assigned to the rtc->dev.groups in rtc_device_register
The is_visible callback checks device_can_wakeup.
And this is not set until after device creation.

Is there a way to retrigger the sysfs groups creation after device
registration? Thou this would result in sysfs attrib. races I guess.

Failing to probe when irq requested seems the easiest.
Would anyone want the irq registration to fail but device creation succeed if 
requested?
