Is this an official naming? I think at least ..._MS is a poor name.
Maybe consider ..._MINSEC instead and make the other two names a bit longer
for consistency?

I wonder: Is this racy? If you write minute, does the seconds reset to
zero or something like that? Or can it happen, that after writing the
minute register and before writing the second register the seconds
overflow and you end up with the time set to a minute later than
intended? If so it might be worth to set the seconds to 0 at the start
of the function (with an explaining comment).

.read_time has a similar race. What happens if minutes overflow between
reading NTXEC_REG_READ_DH and NTXEC_REG_READ_MS?

No .remove function?
