[PATCH v3 0/6] rtc: zynqmp: fixes for read and set offset

Add improvements for read and set offset functions.
The basic functionality is still the same, but offset correction values
are now updated to match with expected.

The RTC calibration value operates with full ticks,
and fractional ticks which are a 1/16 of a full tick.
The 16 lowest bits in the calibration registers are for the full ticks
and value matches the external oscillator in Hz. Through that,
the maximum and minimum offset values can be calculated dynamically,
as they depend on the input frequency used.

For docs on the calibration register, see
https://docs.amd.com/r/en-US/ug1087-zynq-ultrascale-registers/CALIB_READ-RTC-Register

Due to rounding errors (different number of fract ticks),
offset readback will differ slightly depending on
if the offset is negative or positive. This is however well below the granularity
provided by the hardware.

For example
$ echo 34335 > offset 
$ cat offset 
34335
$ echo -34335 > offset 
$ cat offset 
-34326
