Subject: [PATCH] rtc/rtc-spear: remove unnecessary check against rtc_valid_tm and tm2bcd

rtc_valid_tm is always return
-EINVAL if the time doesn't represent a valid date and time and 0 if its.

so we can simply do rtc_valid_tm(tm) rather doing rtc_valid_tm(tm) != 0 checking.
and also tm2bcd() does return -EINVAL if the time doesn't represent a valid date and time
and 0 if its.

and also removing err because is_write_complete will return -EIO if our write to the
RTC registers didn't happen and 0 if its.

The name of this routine conflicts with its behavior (In my opinion :) )
rtc_valid_tm() should have returned
- false or true
OR
less than zero (invalid) or greater than zero (valid)

Probably second one is opted for it. so, it would make more sense to have something like

if (rtc_valid_tm() < 0)
return -EINVAL;

instead of what you went for. Because that looked incorrect to me from readability point of view.
i.e. if rtc_valid_tm, that's an error. What do you say?

Same applied here.

This one must have returned true or false, because of nature of its name. So, still checking
for < 0 is better.

You are right. having rtc_valid_tm() < 0 makes sense.

right. but the function doesn't do as it expected to return true or
false. anyway, it returns -EIO in fail case and 0 in success.

The original code was easier to read than with the current code.

I think its better to leave this driver with out doing these kinds of changes.
