    powerpc/powermac: Fix rtc read/write functions · 22db552b
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    As Mathieu pointed out, my conversion to time64_t was incorrect and
    resulted in negative times to be read from the RTC. The problem is
    that during the conversion from a byte array to a time64_t, the
    'unsigned char' variable holding the top byte gets turned into a
    negative signed 32-bit integer before being assigned to the 64-bit
    variable for any times after 1972.
    
    This changes the logic to cast to an unsigned 32-bit number first for
    the Macintosh time and then convert that to the Unix time, which then
    gives us a time in the documented 1904..2040 year range. I decided not
    to use the longer 1970..2106 range that other drivers use, for
    consistency with the literal interpretation of the register, but that
    could be easily changed if we decide we want to support any Mac after
    2040.
    
    Just to be on the safe side, I'm also adding a WARN_ON that will
    trigger if either the year 2040 has come and is observed by this
    driver, or we run into an RTC that got set back to a pre-1970 date for
    some reason (the two are indistinguishable).
    
    For the RTC write functions, Andreas found another problem: both
    pmu_request() and cuda_request() are varargs functions, so changing
    the type of the arguments passed into them from 32 bit to 64 bit
    breaks the API for the set_rtc_time functions. This changes it back to
    32 bits.
    
    The same code exists in arch/m68k/ and is patched in an identical way
    now in a separate patch.
