One line please

Sure that makes a lot of sense to print epoch if the string conversion
failed. epoch is going to be either uninitialized stack value or 0
depending on the kstrtou32 implementation.

pr_warn() ....
+__setup("rtc_epoch=", set_rtc_epoch);
Not documented in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt ...

So we need a exported function to add a global variable and a function
argument? inline ?

And what's the caller supposed to do with that information?

How is that going to be useful w/o a mechanism to adjust the epoch
offset at runtime by any means?
