If a device is in S3 for the whole day that the glitch occurs and then
we wake up then we'll end up thinking it's Dec 1st instead of Dec 2nd,
right? That case _could_ be handled by knowing that the last time we
read the clock it was before 12/1 and that this time it is after
11/30. Then we add the extra day. In order to do this, we'd have to
know that we're on hardware with the glitch, which I guess could
either be done with a device tree property or by spending 1 second
probing the device at bootup (that would be a bit of a pain...).

Obviously the trick above wouldn't handle if the clock ticked when the
device was in S5, but I'd imagine that most systems treat the RTC as
slightly questionable on an initial bootup anyway (though I'd imagine
that they rely on it working across S3).

What do you think? Is that a worthwhile thing to handle too? It's
pretty common for me to not turn all my devices on every day.
