Unless you have the hardware to actually test the other variants,
perhaps it would be safer to just reject them in ->set_offset /
->get_offset for now?  Returning -EINVAL for unsupported types should
make rtc_set_offset() and rtc_get_offset() have the same behaviour as
not implementing the callbacks for these variants.
