Subject: [PATCH 4/4] rtc: s3c: Fix RTC read on first boot

On first RTC boot it has the month register value set to 0.
Unconditional subtracting of 1 subsequently in s3c_rtc_gettime() leads
to the next error message in kernel log:

    hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock

That happens in s3c_rtc_probe() when trying to register the RTC, which
in turn tries to read and validate the time. Initialize RTC date/time
registers to valid values in probe function on the first boot to prevent
such errors.
