Not just for this driver; and not through procfs.

The natural way to do this is to get the NTP clock
synchronization code working with the RTC framework.  ;)

Failing that, sysfs already exposes the time, so
that any tool that *could* sanity check the time
against some external source (NTP etc) can already
do so.
