Note that this change may break existing users.

I had the same thought but then realized that the +=100 logic was simply
moved into the individual drivers, so the behavior should not change here.

I'm perfectly fine with
it as doing this is generally wrong anyway and this is something I'd
like to see eliminated.

I think most of the m68k RTC hardware uses two-digit BCD year numbers,
so we can't just remove it without implementing something else to
lift the RTC into the current century.
