   i meant, our own 32-bit time_t is signed even if we merge this PR.
   
   > if we make it unsigned, we should deprecate 32-bit time_t, IMO.

   > Actually, we never ship the product which define time_t to 32bit. It's 
fragile and hard to handle 2038 issue with 32bit integer.
   
   i meant we == nuttx.
   i guess you meant we == xiaomi.
   
   i agree it doesn't make much sense to ship a product with 32-bit time_t 
anymore.
