SubjectRe: [PATCH] [1/5] Only do century BCD conversion when we know the RTC is BCD

I checked that whole rtc / BCD logic again. We always set RTC_ALWAYS_BCD:

#ifndef RTC_PORT
#define RTC_PORT(x) (0x70 + (x))
#define RTC_ALWAYS_BCD 1 /* RTC operates in BCD mode */
#endif

Nothing ever defines RTC_PORT and RTC_ALWAYS_BCD

So we can get rid of that stuff completely.

This should probably go here:

if (acpi_gbl_FADT.header.revision >= FADT2_REVISION_ID &&
acpi_gbl_FADT.century) {
--->
}

It does not matter much, because BCD_TO_BIN(0) is 0, but it makes a
lot of sense.

Thanks,
