+ * tsched t1 write(t2.tv_sec - 1sec)) t2 RTC increments seconds
+ *
+ * The offset defines how tsched is computed so that the write to
+ * the RTC (t2.tv_sec - 1sec) is correct versus the time required
+ * for the transport of the write and the time which the RTC needs
+ * to increment seconds the first time after the write (t2).
+ *
+ * For direct accessible RTCs tsched ~= t1 because the write time
+ * is negligible. For RTCs behind slow busses the transport time is
+ * significant and has to be taken into account.
+ *
+ * The time between the write (t1) and the first increment after
+ * the write (t2) is RTC specific. For a MC146818 RTC it's 500ms,
+ * for many others it's exactly 1 second. Consult the datasheet.
+ *
+ * The value of this offset is also used to calculate the to be
+ * written value (t2.tv_sec - 1sec) at tsched.
+ *
+ * The default value for this is NSEC_PER_SEC + 10 msec default
+ * transport time. The offset can be adjusted by drivers so the
+ * calculation for the to be written value at tsched becomes
+ * correct:
+ *
+ * newval = tsched + set_offset_nsec - NSEC_PER_SEC
+ * and (tsched + set_offset_nsec) % NSEC_PER_SEC == 0
