From bb58da08f01ee12561867fcd4385b82679ae7f6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Dumberger Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:49:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/rtc/rtc-r9701.c: reset registers if invalid values are detected hwclock refuses to set date/time if RTC registers contain invalid values. Check the date/time register values at probe time and initialize them to make hwclock happy.
