commit 7df4cfef8b351fec3156160bedfc7d6d29de4cce upstream.
Conversion of dates before 1970 is still relevant today because these dates are reused on some hardwares to store dates bigger than the maximal date that is representable in the device's native format. This prominently and very soon affects the hardware covered by the rtc-mt6397 driver that can only natively store dates in the interval 1900-01-01 up to 2027-12-31. So to store the date 2028-01-01 00:00:00 to such a device, rtc_time64_to_tm() must do the right thing for time=-2208988800.
