Subject: [PATCH 3.14 038/228] drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c: set uie_unsupported

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...ech.de>

commit 282cba6b00a95f0277ed71551e3f6b0477e8836b upstream.

The alarm of the hym8563 only supports a minute accuracy, while the uie
wants an alarm one second in the future.  Therefore things like the
select() syscall will fail with a timeout, because the next alarm will
happen in a worst case of 60 seconds.
