Revision 48a7f7746875425797aea31ed2910088635c1c7a authored by Johannes Weiner on 01 December 2009, 21:17:48 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 02 December 2009, 00:32:20 UTC
The possible CCR_Y2K register values are 19 or 20 and struct rtc_time's
tm_year is in years since 1900.

The function translating rtc_time to register values assumes tm_year to be
years since first christmas, though, and we end up storing 0 or 1 in the
CCR_Y2K register, which the hardware does not refuse to do.

A subsequent probing of the clock fails due to the invalid value range in
the register, though.

[ And if it didn't, reading the clock would yield a bogus year because
  the function translating registers to tm_year is assuming a register
  value of 19 or 20. ]

This fixes the conversion from years since 1900 in tm_year to the
corresponding CCR_Y2K value of 19 or 20.
