 Looking at the code it means that the driver didn't managed to talked
to the chip via i2c, the start_timer function is the first time that
i2c transfer is happening.
 Could be either pinmux problems or frequency (default is 100khz so it
should work ok). 
 What pin are you using to connect to the module ?

 Also it seems that the overlay i2c-rtc.dtbo from the Rpi fundation
list this module but I'm unsure how to use this overlay. It is
installed via the rpi-firmware package.
