drivers/rtc/rtc-efi.c: check for invalid data coming back from UEFI
In particular seeing zero in eft->month is problematic, as it results in -1 (converted to unsigned int, i.e. yielding 0xffffffff) getting passed to rtc_year_days(), where the value gets used as an array index (normally resulting in a crash). This was observed with the driver enabled on x86 on some Fujitsu system (with possibly not up to date firmware, but anyway). Perhaps efi_read_alarm() should not fail if neither enabled nor pending are set, but the returned time is invalid?
