SubjectPATCH: Allow reading CMOS day of week register
From
Date
Someone wanted access to this usually unused (and unused by Linux) value
for the day of week. Existing kernels have the field in the struct but
return 0 always. This updates the kernel to fill in the field. The usual
case of 'not set' conveniently is 0.
