Details

set_time() in timefuncs.c expects rtc_write_time() to return 0 on success. However, all rtc_write_time() functions return 1 always (no error checking is done). So set_time() always returns a failure even if clock was set correctly.
This task depends upon

As far as I can see you're right, but nobody's checking the result of set_time() currently.
Attached is a patch that should fix it.

On second thought, the situation is a little more complicated. Depending on the hardware driver, function rtc_write_datetime returns various values, for example the as3514 driver returns 1, the uisim stub returns 0 and the ds1339 driver returns the return value of a call to sw_i2c_write (which itself returns <0 on error and 0 if things are OK).

A common rule to be derived from this, is that <0 means error and >= 0 means OK. Attached is a patch that evaluates the return value like this.
