spose so.  But the end result is rather awkward-looking.

As `op' must be (and is) one of MAX77686_RTC_WRITE and
MAX77686_RTC_READ, the straightfoward implementation is


static int max77686_rtc_update(struct max77686_rtc_info *info,
	enum MAX77686_RTC_OP op)
{
	int ret;
	unsigned int data;

	if (op == MAX77686_RTC_WRITE)
		data = 1 << RTC_UDR_SHIFT;
	else
		data = 1 << RTC_RBUDR_SHIFT;
