[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: timer: remove legacy rtctimer

Alexandre Belloni alexandre.belloni at free-electrons.com
Sat Apr 23 02:58:05 CEST 2016


There are no users of rtctimer left. Remove its code as this is the
in-kernel user of the legacy PC RTC driver that will hopefully be removed
at some point.

Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni at free-electrons.com>

Note that I've kept the definition of SNDRV_TIMER_GLOBAL_RTC as it is exposed to
userspace. USerspace will still properly get -ENODEV when trying to use it (as
if it was compiled out of the kernel anyway).
