The datasheet is unclear about that. And I thought about that as well.
The OSF flag is and should only reset when the time is set. But if I
reboot or reload the driver without setting the time the OTRP would be
rerun. So I thought it would be best to only rely on the OTPR bit. If
someone has a better idea I'm open far that.
