It's not actually removed in [PATCH 3/4] (if I'm following you
correctly), it was replaced with this code:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    if (rtc_tm.tm_year < 0 || rtc_tm.tm_year >= 100) {
        dev_err(dev, "rtc only supports 100 years\n");
        return -EINVAL;
    }
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

But [PATCH 3/4] is mostly needed for [PATCH 4/4], so you can drop it
if you don't like it. Or it might be kept as a cleanup.

+
+    if (rtc_tm.tm_year < 0 || rtc_tm.tm_year >= 100) {
+        dev_err(dev, "rtc only supports 100 years\n");
+        return -EINVAL;
+    }
