RTC: convert mutex to bitfield
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
RTC code is using mutex to assure exclusive access to /dev/rtc.  This is
however wrong usage, as it leaves the mutex locked when returning into
userspace, which is unacceptable.

Convert rtc->char_lock into bit operation.
