nitpick: This 2 paragraphs could be combined to clear up the issue:

`
The pcf85363/pcf85263 has the capability of address wrapping
which means if you access an address outside the allowed range 
(0x00-0x2f) the hardware actually wraps the access to a lower address. 
The rtc-pf85363 driver will use this feature to configure the time and 
execute 2 actions in the same i2c write operation (stopping the clock 
and configure the time). However the driver has also configured the 
`regmap maxregister` protection mechanism that will block accessing 
addresses outside valid range (0x00-0x2f).
`

nitpick: I would also use separate buffers for this actions. Up to you :)

Otherwise LGTM +1
