[PATCH] rtc: cmos: ignore bogus century byte

From: Eric Wong
Date: Sun Jan 06 2019 - 03:21:39 EST


Older versions of Libreboot and Coreboot had an invalid value
(`3' in my case) in the century byte affecting the GM45 in
the Thinkpad X200. Not everybody's updated their firmwares,
and Linux <= 4.2 was able to read the RTC without problems,
so workaround this by ignoring invalid values.

Fixes: 3c217e51d8a272b9 ("rtc: cmos: century support")
