Why do you have an mtd include?

All of your sb->s_fs_info casts are superfluous. Do not cast void
pointers.

In the IS_ERR case, you can use PTR_ERR for setting the error value.
Throughout most of this code you completely ignore the error value that
is handed down and invent your own instead, making debugging far more
painful than it needs to be.

Was the extra vowel really that much more work to write out?

This should be abstracted out in to a separate function, and you can get
rid of most of this hand-rolled time mangling by using the rtc lib
routines.
Additionally, all of the bcd conversion code is superfluous, since you
can include linux/bcd.h and use bin2bcd and bcd2bin directly.

Just get rid of this if you aren't going to support it.

Lots of superfluous whitespace.

Again, no error handling.

You should be able to kill this off, also.

As already mentioned, these are already in linux/bcd.h.

vmudetails is completely unused here, just kfree sb->s_fs_info.

Again, all of this can be simplified using rtc lib and bcd routines.

This magic value is used in lots of places, you should have a define for
it, and add it to linux/magic.h.

&&'s at the end of the line. You can also switch the if to a return and
kill off the else.

No error handling again. You will want to verify all of your kmallocs,
since you seem to have this issue a lot.

ilog2()?
I've tried to skip over the bits already noted by Evgeniy, but you may
have already fixed up some of the issues noted above anyways.
Also, in the next iteration of this patch, please do not break the Cc
list and send multiple times to different lists, it makes it very
difficult to follow what is going on, especially if the threads of
conversation diverge.
