The patch titled
rtc: handle errors correctly in rtc_irq_set_state()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: rtc: handle errors correctly in rtc_irq_set_state()
From: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de>
The code checks the correctness of the parameters, but unconditionally
arms/disarms the hrtimer.
The result is that a random task might arm/disarm rtc timer and surprise
the real owner by either generating events or by stopping them.
