rtc_tm_to_time64() call sites also appear in several other files without
conditionals:
arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx/m8xx_setup.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/maple/time.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/time.c
Why not use mktime64() instead? That seems to be a common pattern for this
kind of thing (without needing conditional code).
