Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 089/186] rtc: hym8563: Return -EINVAL if the time is known to be invalid

From: Paul Kocialkowski <paul.kocialkowski@...tlin.com>

[ Upstream commit f236a2a2ebabad0848ad0995af7ad1dc7029e895 ]

The current code returns -EPERM when the voltage loss bit is set.
Since the bit indicates that the time value is not valid, return
-EINVAL instead, which is the appropriate error code for this
situation.
