dmi: fix date handling in dmi_get_year()
Year parsing in dmi_get_year() had the following two bugs. * "00" is treated as invalid instead of 2000 because zero return from simple_strtoul() is treated as error. * "0N" where N >= 8 is treated as invalid of 200N because the leading 0 is considered to specify octal. Fix the above two bugs by using endptr to detect invalid number and forcing decimal. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
