A comment here explaining this is the default: because the platform is
assumed to use CMOS, and by the way, this whole thing is obsolete
don't use it, seems appropriate..
The time split is clearer if you think of it from a bus/datasheet
perspective, less clear if you try to measure the system directly, eg
from an alarm. But, I think this has a better chance of some rtclib
driver authors to fill in the datasheet value at least.
