In rtc_suspend() and rtc_resume(), the error after rtc_read_time() is not
checked. If rtc device fail to read time, we cannot guarantee the following
process.

Add the verification code for returned rtc_read_time() error.

 I thought I acked this or something similar days ago... can you please check?

Yes, I sent a similar one. But, a previous patch is related to
"interface.c" and
this is included in "class.c". Maybe you are confused by my same
description.
Sorry about that.

Thanks

Best regards,

OK, it makes no sense to go ahead and set the system time from a
garbage rtc_time.

But I'm wondering if we should propagate the error back to the
rtc_suspend() caller.  What does the PM core do if a particular
device's ->suspend or ->resume fails?

It aborts the suspend.

I mean, if ->suspend fails, the suspend is aborted.

If ->resume fails, on the other hand, we cannot do much more than logging
an error message.

So what should rtc do in this case?  At present it pretends the read
succeeded.  Either way, this doesn't seem to be the place to be making
such policy decisions..

I agree. But, in this case, RTC device driver can not do anything. And if       
rtc_suspend() returns a minus value, then suspend will be aborted. So,          
in the worst case, suspend will be failed continually. I think this is not      
good.                                                                           
                                                                                
Most RTC device drivers don't verify the read time value. Even some drivers     
just return '0' value(omap, tegra, ...). So, I think the higher level           
framework like /drivers/rtc/interface.c should check and handle the rtc         
read time.
