I'm not sure it is worth wrapping rtc_year_days
[snip]

Well, I found your rtc_year_days rather confusing and had to play with
the arguments until I got it working as expected, so I wanted an inline
function (or macro) as abstraction from my three callers.
I agree with that. I was wondering why 1st December was being used. I
would say this API does not do too well on Rusty's API Design
Manifesto.
It follows the convention that tm_mon is 0-11. Making it easy to read
for anyone used to the RTC subsystem. I can agree it is not the most
intuitive one. That choice predates the RTC subsystem (made in 1996), I
won't give any name ;)
It does at least get the day/month/year in the right order ;-)
