Right, I'll fix those

If necessary, I can maintain it however, I'm not sure I'll have access
to the hardware indefinitely.

I renamed the driver from rtc-ab080x and forgot to move it. I will do.
I'll also rename the functions in the driver.

I'm not sure what you mean here, isn't that what is done in almost all
the rtc drivers? A lot of those are simply using return
rtc_valid_tm(tm); My guess is that a userspace program must not try to
use tm when errno is not 0.

Indeed, I'm not sure how but I believe I saw it zero padded at some
point.
