[PATCH 002/100] rtc: ds1553: let the core handle invalid time

From: Alexandre Belloni
Date: Wed Feb 21 2018 - 16:23:46 EST


Returning a valid time when the time is invalid is a bad practice, because
then userspace is not able to react on the information. Also, it doesn't
make sense to return epoch because it is already the default time.
