Subject: [PATCH] rtc: cmos: Evaluate century appropriate
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
There's limiting the year to 2069. When setting the rtc year to 2070,
reading it returns 1970. Evaluate century starting from 19 to count the
correct year.
