There's a difference. The SPMI ones are basically equivalent to mmio
reads, which we also don't expect to fail (and other spmi drivers also
ignore them).

These nvmem error paths I actually hit during development and it could
help someone trying to enable this feature on a new platform.

Yes, that thought crossed my mind, but it's an nvmem cell name (label)
and not a generic devicetree property. If you look at the binding
document I think the name makes sense given the current description, and
I'm not sure changing to something like 'base' would be much of an
improvement.

I also don't expect there to be more broken RTCs out there like these
ones. Hopefully Qualcomm will even get this fixed at some point
themselves.

And I assume you were think of the old Atmel driver which uses a timer
counter and a scratch register as a base? That one is also a bit
different in that the timer can be reset, just not set.
