The problem is this multiply in tps6594_rtc_set_offset()
tmp = offset * TICKS_PER_HOUR;
The "tmp" variable is an s64 but "offset" is a long in the
(-277774)-277774 range. On 32bit systems a long can hold numbers up to
approximately two billion. The number of TICKS_PER_HOUR is really large,
(32768 * 3600) or roughly a hundred million. When you start multiplying
by a hundred million it doesn't take long to overflow the two billion
mark.
Probably the safest way to fix this is to change the type of
TICKS_PER_HOUR to long long because it's such a large number.

And why signed? Wondering, do we deserve to have something like #define SEC_PER_HOUR 3600UL somewhere in the headers, if not already exists? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko

And why signed? It needs to be signed for negatives. That's deliberate. regards, dan carpenter
