    The above was a mass conversion to i2c_new_dummy_device() to make sure
    all in-kernel users use the API returning an ERRPTR. Mass conversion to
    the devm_ variant of the same function was too troublesome.

    With another series, I wanted to remove superfluous error checking of
    i2c_unregister_device() because it is NULL-ptr safe, like here:

    But for these two RTC drivers, I figured moving to devm_* is way easier
    than fixing up the mass conversion result from coccinelle.
