There are 2 options. I would be happy with either.

1. I've chosen 'probe/remove' to enable/disable write access.

2. Another option is to wrap enable/disable around
ds1302_rtc_set_time().

IIUC, the former saves a few bytes of memory. However, now, when
ds1302_rtc_remove() is gone, the latter looks better. So I could rewrite
the patch either way.
