The timestamp can hold earlier values but the fs implementation
explicitly rejects those in adfs_adfs2unix_time() too_early check.
We could fix the implementation to not throw away times before 1970.
Are you suggesting we want to do this?
I could post a separate patch to fix this or we could do it as part of
the series.

 static void
 adfs_adfs2unix_time(struct timespec64 *tv, struct inode *inode)
 {
         unsigned int high, low;
         static const s64 nsec_unix_epoch_diff_risc_os_epoch =
RISC_OS_EPOCH_DELTA * NSEC_PER_SEC;
         s64 nsec;

         if (!adfs_inode_is_stamped(inode))
                 goto cur_time;

         high = ADFS_I(inode)->loadaddr & 0xFF; /* top 8 bits of timestamp */
         low  = ADFS_I(inode)->execaddr;    /* bottom 32 bits of timestamp */

         /* convert 40-bit centi-seconds to 32-bit seconds
          * going via nanoseconds to retain precision
          */
         nsec = (((s64) high << 32) | (s64) low) * 10000000; /* cs to ns */

         /* Files dated pre  01 Jan 1970 00:00:00. */
         if (nsec < nsec_unix_epoch_diff_risc_os_epoch)
                 goto too_early;

         /* convert from RISC OS to Unix epoch */
         nsec -= nsec_unix_epoch_diff_risc_os_epoch;

         *tv = ns_to_timespec64(nsec);
         return;

  cur_time:
         *tv = current_time(inode);
         return;

  too_early:
         tv->tv_sec = tv->tv_nsec = 0;
         return;
 }
