Ohhhhh!  I see.  I clearly didn't look closely enough at the whole
register description in the user manual.  I think you've got it right,
then.

I think this would be more obvious if you added a comment and you set
both the high and low bits at the same time.  AKA:

+       /* Force an update of the shadowed registers right now */
+       ret = regmap_update_bits(rk808->regmap, RK808_RTC_CTRL_REG,
+                                BIT_RTC_CTRL_REG_RTC_GET_TIME,
+                                BIT_RTC_CTRL_REG_RTC_GET_TIME);
+       if (ret) {
+               dev_err(dev, "Failed to update bits rtc_ctrl: %d\n", ret);
+               return ret;
+       }
+
+       ret = regmap_update_bits(rk808->regmap, RK808_RTC_CTRL_REG,
+                                BIT_RTC_CTRL_REG_RTC_GET_TIME,
+                                BIT_RTC_CTRL_REG_RTC_GET_TIME);
+       if (ret) {
+               dev_err(dev, "Failed to update bits rtc_ctrl: %d\n", ret);
+               return ret;
+       }

...doing them both at the same time makes it obvious that this is a
one-time copy triggered by the "rising edge" of this bit.  It also
means you don't need any "goto" for error handling.
