The patch titled
     Subject: drivers/rtc/rtc-efi.c: check for invalid data coming back from UEFI
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     rtc-efi-check-for-invalid-data-coming-back-from-uefi.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: "Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: drivers/rtc/rtc-efi.c: check for invalid data coming back from UEFI

In particular seeing zero in eft->month is problematic, as it results in
-1 (converted to unsigned int, i.e.  yielding 0xffffffff) getting passed
to rtc_year_days(), where the value gets used as an array index (normally
resulting in a crash).  This was observed with the driver enabled on x86
on some Fujitsu system (with possibly not up to date firmware, but
anyway).

Perhaps efi_read_alarm() should not fail if neither enabled nor pending
are set, but the returned time is invalid?
