Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The shared IRQ handler unconditionally returns IRQ_HANDLED and inadvertently clears all status bits.
- [High] The `abx80x_read_alarm` function fails unconditionally on success due to incorrect error checking.

--- Patch [2]: [PATCH 2/6] rtc: abx80x: add irq to struct abx80x_priv ---

rtc: abx80x: add irq to struct abx80x_priv
    
This patch moves the irq number into struct abx80x_priv so that it
is no longer tied to the i2c_client. This allows the irq number to
be accessed in the case of ABX81X SPI clocks.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but doesn't i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() 
return the number of bytes read on success?

Looking at drivers/rtc/rtc-abx80x.c:abx80x_read_alarm():

	err = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(client, ABX8XX_REG_ASC,
					    sizeof(buf), buf);
	if (err)
		return err;

Since it returns 7 on success, will this unconditionally fail and return
early with an error code, leaving the alarm structure uninitialized?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but since the IRQ is registered
here with IRQF_SHARED, does abx80x_handle_irq() correctly handle shared
interrupts?

Looking at drivers/rtc/rtc-abx80x.c:abx80x_handle_irq():

static irqreturn_t abx80x_handle_irq(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
	[ ... ]
	status = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(client, ABX8XX_REG_STATUS);
	if (status < 0)
		return IRQ_NONE;
	[ ... ]
	i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, ABX8XX_REG_STATUS, 0);

	return IRQ_HANDLED;
}

If no relevant interrupt flags are set for this device, it still returns
IRQ_HANDLED and writes 0 to ABX8XX_REG_STATUS, clearing all status bits
including non-IRQ bits like BLF. Can this break other devices sharing the
interrupt line and silently drop hardware status flags?
