Hm, did you even read what I wrote?

This is not an answer to my question.

I assume your code is NOT in mainline.

Well, eventually your RTC is not battery buffered, and when it comes
up from power-on it initiallizes it's registers with values that, when
read out, get interpreted as this specific date.

There is no such function as at91_rtc_readtime() in mainline code, so
locate it in your sources, and debug it.

Best regards,
