Subject: [PATCH] rtc: ds1685: Remove superfluous checks for out-of-range u8 values

drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1685.c:481: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type

u8 cannot contain a value larger than 0xff, hence drop the checks.
Wrapping the checks in unlikely() indicated some sense of humor, though ;-)
