Subject: [PATCH] rtc: Check return value of twl_rtc_write_u8() in
 twl_rtc_set_time()

In drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c:twl_rtc_set_time() we forget to save the
return value of the call to
twl_rtc_write_u8(save_control, REG_RTC_CTRL_REG);
in 'ret', making the test of 'ret < 0' dead code since 'ret' then
couldn't possibly have changed since the last test just a few lines
above. It also makes us not detect failures from that specific
twl_rtc_write_u8() call.
