Good catch, it's not. I will remove it for V2.

Ok. I propose that I add 2 constants for the -1 and +100 in the month and year
calculation. This way, without the comment the computation would be a
bit more self explanatory.
What do you think?

I understand your point, however I'm not sure of the canonical way to do
this. Simply calling `tps6594_rtc_set_time` is enough?
