Any abstraction _must_ cover all variations that are sensible or
expectable.

It seems to me that an abstraction that allows for the year is more general than one that doesn't. It should be the driver's responsibility for fixing up cases where the device doesn't provide the year, with maybe the help of a driver support utility library routine.
