Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2] rtc: pcf2127: add error checking when disabling POR0

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@...onoff.com>

If PCF2127 device is absent from the I2C bus, or if there is a
communication problem, disabling POR0 may fail silently and we
still continue with probing the device. In that case, abort probe
operation.
