[PATCH] alarmtimer: Add the verification code for rtc device error.

From: Hyogi Gim
Date: Thu Jul 10 2014 - 21:25:51 EST


In alarmtimer_suspend(), the error after rtc_read_time() is not checked.
If rtc device fail to read rtc time, we cannot ensure the following process.

Furthermore, the return value of rtc_timer_start() needs to distinguish
-ETIME and other rtc device error. If the error is relevant to rtc device,
suspend is failed unintentionally. In this case, it just returns zero for
a stable suspend. Otherwise, in the worst case, suspend will fail continually.

So, this patch verifies the rtc device error in alarmtimer_suspend(). it
includes "rtc_err goto" statement instead of a direct "return 0" to clarify
the rtc device error.
