I mean, if you try to get the time or execute hwclock command, Invalid arguments are returned when the RTC chip is not initialized
therefore,we need to get a valid time
Well, the time is invalid so hwclock needs to know it is invalid.
Returning a bogus time and date doesn't make it right. hwclock needs to
fail.

           But for an uninitialized RTC chip, the time is random.
           Days and month may be zero, leading to RTC_valid_TM failed
 
If the time on the RTC is invalid, then rtc_valid_tm has to fail, there
is nothing to fix here.

add description  && fix build error, so I modefied my code :

Please use C89 style commet (/* */).

I like using ++ (flags_utime++).

{} is unnecessary.

A build error will occur because there is no declaration of
rs5c372_rtc_set_time.
Please make sure this can be compiled.
