Although I wouldn't bother using the "wday" field at all.
Linux doesn't use that field, so trying to maintain it isn't
useful ... though it probably doesn't hurt, assuming the
chip behaves OK when invalid data is written there.


Also, in probe():

I dislike those banners in general. Best to remove that,
since the RTC framework announces the registration. Or
at least, dev_info().

Unlikely to fail ... but

res = spi_setup(spi);
if (res < 0) {
/* or do it before the kzalloc, no kfree
* ... likewise with reading the register
* as an "is it there" check: do it earlier
* and get a similar minor codeshrink.
*/
kfree(chip);
return res;
}
