Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for reviewing this.

.. I'm not quite certain I understand.
Does the patch looks worse that it is?
This part,

+	if (ret)
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to request ALARM IRQ %d: %d\n",
			irq_alarm, ret);
 -		return ret;

looks like it has erased the return ret,

But it does exist at the end of the patch.
So there will still be an error sent if the IRQ is not requested properly.
Is this what you meant in your previous e-mail?
