From 108b4c3638be251d6b42eaa633e8a6b852b960f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:58:43 -0800 Subject: rtc: tweak driver documentation for rtc periodic The max_user_freq member is not really meant for RTC drivers to modify, so update the rtc documentation so drivers writers know what is expected of them when handling periodic events.
