What do you think about:

rtc/hctosys: only claim the RTC provided the system time if it did

Without this patch /sys/class/rtc/$CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE/hctosys
contains a 1 (meaning "This rtc was used to initialize the system
clock") even if reading the time at bootup failed.

Moreover change error handling in rtc_hctosys() to use goto and so
reduce the indention level.
