Re: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out

Hi John Stultz

I meet the same problem on MIPS jz4740, here is the step I try to find out the 
problem:

1. when I direct run 'hwclock' it will give
   "select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out"
   attachment 'hwclock.time.out' is the strace log

2. run 'rtctest' program. it works fine. the output is here[1]

3. after 'rtctest', run 'hwclock' again. then it works fine
   attachment 'hwclock.wors' is the strace log

without 'rtctest' run first. 'hwclock' never works.
the hwclock works fine in 2.6.27.6, failed under '3.0.0'

Please give me some tips how to fix this problem. shoule I modify the driver 
code
or is that relate to 'CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL'?

thanks in advance.
