The "data year offset" is to be intended as, indeed, a year offset,
not a register offset.
I'll clarify the comment.

In this case this 500ms sleep is just to avoid reading the time when
the time (and in the worst case the date) is going to change.

Should be safe since rtc_device_register() uses ida_simple_get() to
get a new id.
