Subject: rtc_valid_tm doesn't check tm_wday

Hello,

I'm currently writing an rtc driver and want to use rtc_valid_tm to
assert to have a valid date before writing it to the rtc.

Now I wonder why rtc_valid_tm doesn't check tm_wday for being in the
range [0 .. 6].  Is there a reason?  I could imagine that you want to
be able to check paritial "struct rtc_time"s, too.

So should I check tm_wday myself?

Best regards
Uwe
