Subject: [PATCH] [media] pulse8-cec: print time using time64_t.
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 17:45:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171110164559.3737072-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

The firmware timestamp is an unsigned 32-bit value, but we copy it into
a signed 32-bit variable, so we can theoretically get an overflow in
the calculation when the timestamp is between 2038 and 2106.

This changes the temporary variable to time64_t and changes the deprecated
time_to_tm() over to time64_to_tm() accordingly.

There is still an overflow in y2106, but that is a limitation of the
firmware interface, not a kernel problem.
