Subject: [PATCH 1/8] powerpc/rtas-rtc: remove sideeffects of
 printk_ratelimit

Don't use printk_ratelimit() as an additional condition for returning
on an error. Because when the ratelimit is reached, printk_ratelimit
will return 0 and e.g. in rtas_get_boot_time won't check for an error
condition.
