[PATCH v1 2/2] dt-bindings: rtc: Add optional status property

From: Rahul Tanwar
Date: Thu Aug 22 2019 - 09:44:27 EST


Some products may not support MC146818 RTC CMOS device. Introduce a optional
'status' standard property for RTC-CMOS to indicate if the MC146818 RTC device
is available (status="okay") or not (status="disabled")
