m41txx chips can hold a calibration value to get really near to real
tick value.

Typo in the subject.

Add calibration property(ranging between (-31) and 31), so on every probe
calibration value will be written to rtc.
This is because ic could loose supply due to low battery.

Put all the binding changes in separate patch (or maybe 2: new
compatible and new properties).

Needs a vendor prefix.

Calibration of what and what are the units?

+ Set calibration value to correct external bias, ranging between (-31) and 31.

Example:
rtc1: ds1339@68 {

This is not a problem anymore since I've used standard rtc sysfs "offset" instead of a dt-property as Alexandre pointed me out.

Thanks.
