Check that the time received from the RTC HW is valid,
otherwise the computation of rtc_year_days() in the next
line could, and sometimes does, crash the kernel.
While we're at it, fix the license to plain "GPL".

If your driver doesn't care about yday, userspace doesn't either. You
can simply not set it.

This should be in a separate patch.

Hi Alexandre, thanks for the thoughts.

This driver indeed does not care about yday, so it sounds good to me
to simply not set it. However, I do still want to worry about the HW
returning some bogus time. It could be indicative of some other problem,
and I don't want to pass on this illegal time further up the stack. I can't
think of a reason why an illegal time should exist at all, we should just
deal with it as soon as possible. How about I remove setting yday as
you suggest, but still keep the rtc_valid_tm() check?

Following our discussion, perhaps I'll just remove this too since the
RTC core inits this to -1 already?

OK, I'll separate this out :)

As rtc_valid_tm would be the last thing the driver does in the callback
and the first thing the core does after returning from the callback,
you'd get two calls back to back which is not useful.

You can remove it.

Ah, I see now where the core checks that the time is valid
in interface.c. Sounds good, I'll skip the check then.
