Subject: [PATCH] rtc_time_to_tm: Fix signed / unsigned arithmetic
Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:34:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1217687680.3872.10.camel@bender> (raw)

Hi all,

commit 945185a69daa457c4c5e46e47f4afad7dcea734f changed the some types
in rtc_time_to_tm() to unsigned:

 void rtc_time_to_tm(unsigned long time, struct rtc_time *tm)
 {
-       register int days, month, year;
+       unsigned int days, month, year;

This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later
on:

if (days < 0) {
	year -= 1;
	days += 365 + LEAP_YEAR(year);
}

I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an
appropriate cast later on. See attached patch.
