[PATCH 4.14 53/53] rtc: pcf8523: dont return invalid date when battery is low

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 17 2019 - 17:34:59 EST


From: Baruch Siach <baruch@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ecb4a353d3afd45b9bb30c85d03ee113a0589079 upstream.

The RTC_VL_READ ioctl reports the low battery condition. Still,
pcf8523_rtc_read_time() happily returns invalid dates in this case.
Check the battery health on pcf8523_rtc_read_time() to avoid that.
