Actually I did re-test locally and it is an issue since the 90s timeout is not
per-test, but to the whole rtc test suite. Also it requires running the test
through the selftest runner, and since the alarm is set to the next top of the
minute, you might get lucky and it might all take less than 90 seconds.

However none of this was clear in my original commit message, so I'll send a v2
with a better explanation.
