./driver/char/rtc.c:rtc_init() #if defined(__alpha__) || defined(__mips__) [...]
MIPS does that as well _in the wrong way_ compared to rtc.c: ./arch/mips/dev/time.c:time_init() /* * The DECstation RTC is used as a TOY (Time Of Year). * The PROM will reset the year to either '70, '71 or '72. * This hack will only work until Dec 31 2001. */ year += 1928;
