Description:
- The amount which the rtc clock has been adjusted in firmware.
- Visible only if the driver supports clock offset adjustment.
- The unit is parts per billion, i.e. The number of clock ticks
- which are added to or removed from the rtc's base clock per
- billion ticks. A positive value makes a day pass more slowly,
- longer, and a negative value makes a day pass more quickly.
