The patch below does not apply to the 5.16-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

Wait, this patch was not intended for submission into stable yet, at least not in this form. Why did it end up in the stable queue?
Because it was marked with a "Fixes:" tag and I reviewed it and it looked like it actually fixed an issue.
Is this not the case?
The return values from mc146818_get_time() changed in between, so it is natural that it does not apply.
See commit d35786b3a28dee20 ("rtc: mc146818-lib: change return values of mc146818_get_time()")
Ok, so will a working backport be sent sometime in the future?
thanks,
