rtc_time_to_tm() and rtc_tm_to_time() are deprecated because they rely on 32bits variables and that will make rtc break in y2038/2016. Stop using those two functions to safer 64bits ones.

'secs' should be 'time64_t' here, which is signed.

However, note that you only write 32 bits here, since NUM_8_BIT_RTC_REGS
is set to '4'. Is that a hardware constant? If yes, it would be best to return
-EINVAL or -EOVERFLOW for out of range times.
I think should really try to come up with a way to set the policy for
overflows in
RTC drivers globally in this case. There are many drivers that take a 32-bit
unsigned value (and many others that don't), but a nicer policy for the long
run might be to define some kind of windowing where values before e.g.
year 2000 or 2017 are wrapped around and used as future dates.
Unfortunately, the downside of this is that any RTC that defaults to '0'
and is now interpreted as year 1970 would then be interpreted as a future
data that can not be represented in today's 32-bit time_t.
