Subject: [PATCH v9 06/10] rtc: at91sam9: rework the Kconfig description

Remove all references to AT91CAP9 SoC which has been removed.
Rework help message to remove any specific references to AT91SAM9 SoCs.
State that RTC_DRV_AT91SAM9_RTT and RTC_DRV_AT91SAM9_GPBR options are only
used when booting non DT boards.
