[PATCH v1 3/4] ACPI: TAD: RTC: Refine timer value computations and checks
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Wed Apr 22 2026 - 11:29:35 EST
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Since rtc_tm_to_ktime() may overflow for large RTC time values and
full second granularity is sufficient in timer value computations
in acpi_tad_rtc_set_alarm() and acpi_tad_rtc_read_alarm(), use
rtc_tm_to_time64() instead of that function, which also allows the
computations to be simplified.
Moreover, U32_MAX is a special "timer disabled" value, so make
acpi_tad_rtc_set_alarm() reject it when attempting to program the
alarm timers.
Fixes: 7572dcabe38d ("ACPI: TAD: Add alarm support to the RTC class device interface")
