[PATCH 4.19 20/52] rtc: hym8563: Return -EINVAL if the time is known to be invalid

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 13 2020 - 10:37:36 EST


From: Paul Kocialkowski <paul.kocialkowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f236a2a2ebabad0848ad0995af7ad1dc7029e895 upstream.

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.
