This rtc chip has no mechanism to freeze it's registers while being read; however, it will delay updating the external values of the registers for 250ms after a register is read. To ensure that a sane time value is read, the driver verifies that the same registers values were read twice before returning. Also, when setting the rtc from an interrupt handler, a tasklet is used to provide the context required by the i2c core code. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Mark A. Greer --
