RTC: assure proper memory ordering with respect to RTC_DEV_BUSY flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We must make sure that the RTC_DEV_BUSY flag has proper lock semantics,
i.e.  that the RTC_DEV_BUSY stores clearing the flag don't get reordered
before the preceeding stores and loads and vice versa.
