Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] Documentation/rtc: update ioctl return values checkings in example code

From: Nikolay Balandin <[email protected]>

Update ioctl return values for rtc example code to correctly determine
does the rtc driver support corresponding IRQ type or not.

According to the rtc subsystem interface return values:
For the update and alarm interrupts rtc subsystem interface will
return -EINVAL error code if a device driver does not implement
corresponding handler (RTC_UIE_ON or RTC_ALM_SET).
For the periodic IRQs (RTC_IRQP_READ) rtc-dev will return 0 as a period
if rtc->irq_freq property is not initialized.
