Is anything on the system going to use it? This driver is not setting
12h time so if there is no other component in the system accessing the
time, there is no chance this is going to be used. Dead code is not nice
to maintain.

The value exposed to userspace is in parts per billion. If you can't do
the conversion, then you have to drop it.

Then you need a property to select with diodes you are going to use. The
ABX80X supports something similar.

The CCF is responsible to disable the clock, else you will have a glitch
in the clock at boot time which will break use cases. But for this to
work, you will have to always register the clock.

Then you definitively don't want to do this, this will invalidate time
and date as the oscillator is disabled and this renders the RTC useless.
The whole point of the RTC is that it survives the reboot or shutdown of
the system.
