I'm kind of concerned that other people may want to use those register
for something else but I don't currently have anything better to
suggest.

The other concern is that when updating the kernel, this will make amm
the rtc report that the time is invalid until the next update. So this
should be disabled by default.

All the other drivers return -EINVAL in that case.
