The function translating rtc_time to register values assumes tm_year to be years since first christmas, though, and we end up storing 0 or 1 in the CCR_Y2K register, which the hardware does not refuse to do. A subsequent probing of the clock fails due to the invalid value range in the register, though. [ And if it didn't, reading the clock would yield a bogus year because the function translating registers to tm_year is assuming a register value of 19 or 20. ] This fixes the conversion from years since 1900 in tm_year to the corresponding CCR_Y2K value of 19 or 20.
