 So what is the best thing to do then?


Well, -EINVAL is returned when the time is invalid, this should be
enough. I'm not actually sure what is the issue you are trying to fix
here.

htop fails to start and tells me:
"No btime in /proc/stat: No such file or directory"

until the date is reset. So I was assuming it was a case of the jz4740 driver not being correct and breaking userspace.
