Toggling between 0x4001 amd 0x0001 seems to mean that you change between
PLL and FLL mode:
#define STA_MODE        0x4000  /* mode (0 = PLL, 1 = FLL) (ro) */

The current version seems to be able to generate:
kernel time sync error %04x
kernel time sync status change %04x
kernel time sync status %04x
kernel time sync disabled %04x

And I think "status" and "status change" can be ignored, and I think I
would like to be notified about the other cases.
