Subject: [PATCH] RTC: v3020 driver bugfix

v3020 read_bit always returns 0 when left_shift > 7

The v3020 read_bit function's return type is (unsigned char). The code
returns a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return
type. If left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0
return value. The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the
included patch corrects the problem.

The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel
versions 2.6.30 and later.
