Summary of Changes

***** Correct Atlas RTC support for December 31 of a leap year. *****
Files Modified:
WINCE500\PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\ARM\FREESCALE\PMIC\MC13783\RTC\rtc.c
WINCE500\PLATFORM\3ds\Src\Common\Mc13783_rtc\rtc.c


Changes:
- A bug in the calculation of year and day from January 1, 1980 resulted in a system hang if the current date is December 31st of a leap year.
- Before writing new date and time to Atlas RTC registers, call CheckRealTime() to insure data is valid and within range of the Atlas RTC hardware.


Software Validation
-------------------
- Manual test of setting the date to December 31, 2008.  This test verifies the system hang no longer occurs.
- Ran CETK CE5.0 timer tests
- Ran CETK CE6.0 timer tests.  These tests were back-ported to the CE5 CETK test harness.
