Complement commit 85d77047c4ea ("drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c: propagate error value from smbus functions") and correct the remaining places that fail to propagate the error code from SMBus calls. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> References: 85d77047c4ea ("drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c: propagate error value from smbus functions") --- Hi, I think this does not qualify for backporting, but please feel free to decide otherwise. This change I did verify at run time to the extent I was able to, but I didn't try to trigger artificial errors. Also the M41T81, which is the device I've been using this driver with, does not have battery failure indication implemented, so I could not execute the procfs handling path (again without making some artificial changes). These changes should be obvious regardless. I'll be posting further patches over the coming weeks, based on my original effort as archived here: <https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/12/385>, <https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/project/lkml/list/?series=73524&archive=both> However I have just realised they'll need another iteration before I post them. So for now just these two obvious fixes. Please apply.
