Krzysztof, do you have by chance the doc for different SoCs supported
by S3C RTC driver? I can implement proper values for min/max range for
each SoC, as Alexandre asked, by adding those to driver data. But I
need max year register value (100, 1000, etc) for each of those chips:

  - "samsung,s3c2410-rtc"
  - "samsung,s3c2416-rtc"
  - "samsung,s3c2443-rtc"
  - "samsung,s3c6410-rtc"
  - "samsung,exynos3250-rtc"

For example Exynos850 TRM states that BCDYEAR register has [11:0] bits
for holding the year value in BCD format, so it's 10^(12/4)=1000 years
max.
