From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 15d82d22498784966df8e4696174a16b02cc1052 ] When no alarm has been programmed on RSK-RZA1, an error message is printed during boot: rtc rtc0: invalid alarm value: 2019-03-14T255:255:255 sh_rtc_read_alarm_value() returns 0xff when querying a hardware alarm field that is not enabled. __rtc_read_alarm() validates the received alarm values, and fills in missing fields when needed. While 0xff is handled fine for the year, month, and day fields, and corrected as considered being out-of-range, this is not the case for the hour, minute, and second fields, where -1 is expected for missing fields. Fix this by returning -1 instead, as this value is handled fine for all fields.
