Use

        if (WARN_ON(!r || !*r))
                return 0;

However, if anyone ever reports this warning you will be sad because
you won't know which condition triggered it.  So a more useful approach
is

        if (WARN_ON(!r))
                return 0;
        if (WARN_ON(!*r))
                return 0;

I think the name is inappropriate.  devm functions start with "devm"
and rtc functions start with "rtc" and this code is a part of rtc core,
not a part of devm core.  Hence it should be something like
"rtc_devm_device_register".

So this function will return an ERR_PTR on error.  Please add a
description of the return value into the kerneldoc.

        WARN_ON(!rc);
