ARM rtc problem

[Manish RATHI <manish.rathi@xxxxxx>]

Hi,
To set a alarm thru rtc, ioctl RTC_ALM_SET is used.
In above ioctl implementation, in file arm/common/rtctime.c , alrm structure is initialized
As follows:

      alrm.enabled = 0;
                alrm.pending = 0;
                alrm.time.tm_mday = -1;
                alrm.time.tm_mon = -1;
                alrm.time.tm_year = -1;
                alrm.time.tm_wday = -1;
                alrm.time.tm_yday = -1;
                alrm.time.tm_isdst = -1;
                ret = rtc_set_alarm(ops, &alrm);

 alrm is time at which alarm should be matured. 
Why this structure is filled with invalid values?
I think that this should not be initialized with invalid values.

Thanks
Regards
Manish
