Hi,

This looks mostly good. Could you align the wrapped function parameters
to the open parenthesis (use checkpatch --strict)?

Shouldn't you return -ETIMEDOUT if the loop breaks because of time_after?

Probably yes.

I believe as written the time_after test is too much
for my little brain.  I would have used time_before
and reversed the args.

I suggest moving the time_after() test into the loop,
use break; and remove the exit label too.

Maybe something like:

	while (1) {
		ret = regmap_read(rtc->regmap, rtc->addr_base + RTC_BBPU,
				  &data);
		if (ret < 0)
			break;
		if (!(data & RTC_BBPU_CBUSY))
			break;
		if (time_after(jiffies, timeout)) {
			ret = -ETIMEDOUT;
			break;
		}
		cpu_relax();
	}

	return ret;
}
