[PATCH] rtc: rv8803: fix handling return value of i2c_smbus_read_byte_data

From: Andrzej Hajda
Date: Thu Dec 10 2015 - 02:57:00 EST


The function can return negative values, so its result should
be assigned to signed variable.

The problem has been detected using proposed semantic patch
scripts/coccinelle/tests/assign_signed_to_unsigned.cocci [1].
