I think we need to have a way for drivers to set the start_secs value
because then we can fix all the drivers using a variation of
if (tm->tm_year < 70)
tm->tm_year += 100;
The main issue is that they will want to set start_secs to 0 so we can't
use start_secs != 0 to know whether it has already been set. Maybe we
can rely on offset_secs being set.

And so we have the case where start_secs < rtc->min_hw_secs. Those are
the RTC failing in 2069. Wee need to handle those drivers generically
here.
