Subject: [PATCH 5.4 40/44] rtc: cmos: Evaluate century appropriate

From: Riwen Lu <luriwen@...inos.cn>

commit ff164ae39b82ee483b24579c8e22a13a8ce5bd04 upstream.

There's limiting the year to 2069. When setting the rtc year to 2070,
reading it returns 1970. Evaluate century starting from 19 to count the
correct year.

$ sudo date -s 20700106
Mon 06 Jan 2070 12:00:00 AM CST
$ sudo hwclock -w
$ sudo hwclock -r
1970-01-06 12:00:49.604968+08:00

Fixes: 2a4daadd4d3e5071 ("rtc: cmos: ignore bogus century byte")
