Who is setting up this timer? This patch can also be done in userspace:

fd = open("/dev/rtc",...);
ioctl(alsafd, RTCFD, fd);

in the alsa driver you can do:

file = fget(fd);
...
if (file->f_op && file->f_op->ioctl)
file->f_op->ioctl(file->f_dentry->d_inode, file, cmd, arg);
...
fput(file);

bye, Roman
