With the generic driver, the maxslewrate directive sets the maximum
frequency offset that the driver is allowed to use to slew the time. By
default, it's set to 83333.333 (1/12). This is identical to what Linux
fast slewing used to use.
This driver is intended to complete system-specific drivers that don't
have implemented all required driver functionality. Currently, it
implements offset functions working on top of system-specific frequency
functions. Offsets are corrected by changing frequency, similarly to
fast slewing implemented in the Linux driver.
