Could be. I've simply done it like kuroboxHD.dts already does and
fsl_soc.c expects.

True. I think we should primarily focus on the RTC part rather than
NVRAM as that's the "main" functionality and leave a NVRAM class for
I2C EEPROMs.

The Linux driver for the chip (rtc-1307.c) doesn't expose the NVRAM
bytes either.

But I'm open for suggestions.
