Subject: powerpc: Avoid giving out RTC dates below EPOCH
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc7~69^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=978d7eb31d44de34a7f71e04ed4158f3f854688d;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-adaptation-intel-automotive.git

powerpc: Avoid giving out RTC dates below EPOCH

Doing so causes xtime to be negative which crashes the timekeeping
code in funny ways when doing suspend/resume
