[PATCH 1/3] [v2] powerpc: mac: fix rtc read/write functions

As Mathieu pointed out, my conversion to time64_t was incorrect and resulted
in negative times to be read from the RTC. The problem is that during the
conversion from a byte array to a time64_t, the 'unsigned char' variable
holding the top byte gets turned into a negative signed 32-bit integer
before being assigned to the 64-bit variable for any times after 1972.

This changes the logic to cast to an unsigned 32-bit number first for
the Macintosh time and then convert that to the Unix time, which then gives
us a time in the documented 1904..2040 year range. I decided not to use
the longer 1970..2106 range that other drivers use, for consistency with
the literal interpretation of the register, but that could be easily
changed if we decide we want to support any Mac after 2040.

Just to be on the safe side, I'm also adding a WARN_ON that will trigger
if either the year 2040 has come and is observed by this driver, or we
run into an RTC that got set back to a pre-1970 date for some reason
(the two are indistinguishable).

For the RTC write functions, Andreas found another problem: both
pmu_request() and cuda_request() are varargs functions, so changing
the type of the arguments passed into them from 32 bit to 64 bit
breaks the API for the set_rtc_time functions. This changes it
back to 32 bits.

The same code exists in arch/m68k/ and is patched in an identical way now
in a separate patch.
