Subject: [21/73] drivers/rtc/rtc-ds3232.c: fix time range difference between linux and RTC chip

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Lei Xu <B33228@...escale.com>

commit a2d6d2fa90c0e1d2cc1d59ccb5bbe93bb28b7413 upstream.

In linux rtc_time struct, tm_mon range is 0~11, tm_wday range is 0~6,
while in RTC HW REG, month range is 1~12, day of the week range is 1~7,
this patch adjusts difference of them.

The efect of this bug was that most of month will be operated on as the
next month by the hardware (When in Jan it maybe even worse).  For
example, if in May, software wrote 4 to the hardware, which handled it as
April.  Then the logic would be different between software and hardware,
which would cause weird things to happen.
