[PATCH v8 03/11] rtc: sun6i: Fix time overflow handling

[Jernej Škrabec]

Hi Andre!

> Using "unsigned long" for UNIX timestamps is never a good idea, and
> comparing the value of such a variable against U32_MAX does not do
> anything useful on 32-bit systems.
> 
> Use the proper time64_t type when dealing with timestamps, and avoid
> cutting down the time range unnecessarily. This also fixes the flawed
> check for the alarm time being too far into the future.
> 
> The check for this condition is actually somewhat theoretical, as the
> RTC counts till 2033 only anyways, and 2^32 seconds from now is not
> before the year 2157 - at which point I hope nobody will be using this
> hardware anymore.
