6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit fe9f5f96cfe8b82d0f24cbfa93718925560f4f8d upstream.
The comparison
rtc->start_secs > rtc->range_max
has a signed left-hand side and an unsigned right-hand side. So the comparison might become true for negative start_secs which is interpreted as a (possibly very large) positive value.
As a negative value can never be bigger than an unsigned value the correct representation of the (mathematical) comparison
rtc->start_secs > rtc->range_max
in C is:
rtc->start_secs >= 0 && rtc->start_secs > rtc->range_max
Use that to fix the offset calculation currently used in the rtc-mt6397 driver.
