Hi Rafael,
I'm seeing intermittent boot failures after 6492fed7d8c9 ("rtc: rtc-cmos:
Do not check ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0") due to a NULL pointer exception
early in boot. It fails to boot 5 times after 10 boot attempts and I've
only observed it on one machine so far. Either a revert or the patch below
fixes it but it's unlikely it is the correct fix.

Boot failure looks like the below, it's not a vanilla kernel but the
applied patch is not relevant and it's known to fail on a vanilla kernel.
The machine has a E5-2698 v4 CPU plugged into a SGI C2112-4GP3 platform
with a X10DRT-P-Series motherboard.

It looks like I've exposed a race condition there.
Generally speaking, it is misguided to install an event handler that
is not ready to handle the event at that time before making sure that
the event is disabled.
Does the attached patch help?

It failed 3/10 times. That's less than the previous 5/10 failures but I
cannot be certain it helped without running a lot more boot tests. The
failure happens in the same function as before.

This is still not acceptable.

I've overlooked the fact that acpi_install_fixed_event_handler()
enables the event on success, so it is a bug to call it when the
handler is not ready.
It should help to only enable the event after running cmos_do_probe()
where the driver data pointer is set, so please try the attached
patch.

Looks good and it booted 10 times successfully.

This is fine with me, please send an inclusion request to Greg and the
"stable" list.

I'm hitting this issue on the 6.0 stable releases (aka 6.0.y) and
looking at the stable tree I see this hasn't been merged... I just got
bitten by this on 6.0.12.
Greg, if Rafael agrees, I think you should apply 4919d3eb2ec0 and
0782b66ed2fb to the 6.0.y tree.
Thank you in advance.
