rtc: cmos: ignore bogus century byte
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Older versions of Libreboot and Coreboot had an invalid value
(`3' in my case) in the century byte affecting the GM45 in
the Thinkpad X200.  Not everybody's updated their firmwares,
and Linux <= 4.2 was able to read the RTC without problems,
so workaround this by ignoring invalid values.

Fixes: 3c217e5 ("rtc: cmos: century support")
