As pointed out on an irc channel, yet another example of kernel developers having to do crazy things to paper over hardware bugs: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f076ef44a44d02ed91543f820c14c2c7dff53716

@gregkh a guestimate, how many if this kind of kernel fixes for hardware bugs do you think there is in the kernel? Would you say they are too "common"?

@wagi @gregkh
I wasn't sure if that's 2381 rockchip year or 2381 CE, as the difference will be longer than a year by then.

@gregkh They just decided to add an extra day to November (edit: instead of fixing what I assume the calendar is in firmware)? How common is this?
