Can the offset be the Scratch register number instead of bytes offset?
More intuitive to me.

So that one can request using offset as 0, 1, 2 instead of 0, 4, 8?
Well, the offset is coming from the nvmem core, itself getting it from
the Linux file API (and it is in bytes). However, you have the guarantee
that it will be aligned on a word, see:
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/nvmem/core.c#L88
The above can be:
rtc_readl(rtc, OMAP_RTC_SCRATCH0_REG + (offset + i) * 4), val[i]);
