rtc: core: Make the sync offset default more realistic
The offset which is used to steer the start of an RTC synchronization update via rtc_set_ntp_time() is huge. The math behind this is: tsched twrite(t2.tv_sec - 1) t2 (seconds increment) twrite - tsched is the transport time for the write to hit the device. t2 - twrite depends on the chip and is for most chips one second. The rtc_set_ntp_time() calculation of tsched is: tsched = t2 - 1sec - (t2 - twrite) The default for the sync offset is 500ms which means that twrite - tsched is 500ms assumed that t2 - twrite is one second. This is 0.5 seconds off for RTCs which are directly accessible by IO writes and probably for the majority of i2C/SPI based RTC off by an order of magnitude. Set it to 5ms which should bring it closer to reality. The default can be adjusted by drivers (rtc_cmos does so) and could be adjusted further by a calibration method which is an orthogonal problem.
