Since accessing a Chrome OS EC based rtc is a slow operation, there is a race window where if the alarm is set for the next second and the second ticks over right before calculating the alarm offset. In this case the current driver is setting a 0-second alarm, which would be considered as disabling alarms by the EC(EC_RTC_ALARM_CLEAR). This breaks, e.g., hwclock which relies on RTC_UIE_ON -> rtc_update_irq_enable(), which sets a 1-second alarm and expects it to fire an interrupt. So return -ETIME when the alarm is in the past, follow __rtc_set_alarm(). Signed-off-by: Jeffy Chen <jeffy.chen@rock-chips.com> --- Changes in v2: Rewrite commit message as Brian suggested.
