vrtc: change its year offset from 1960 to 1972
Real world year equals the value in vrtc YEAR register plus an offset. We used 1960 as the offset to make leap year consistent, but for a device's first use, its YEAR register is 0 and the system year will be parsed as 1960 which is not a valid UNIX time and will cause many applications to fail mysteriously. So we use 1972 instead to fix this issue. Updated patch which adds a sanity check suggested by Mathias This isn't a change in behaviour for systems, because 1972 is the one we actually use. It's the old version in upstream which is out of sync with all devices.
