[PATCH] Error checking for spi_setup during probe function added to rtc-m41t94 driver

From: Nur Hussein
Date: Fri Mar 03 2023 - 16:52:40 EST


The m41t94_probe() function calls spi_setup() but does not check for an
error upon return. I have added this check, and returns the error and
sets the error message via dev_error to "spi_setup failed".
