A driver is needed to enable/disable the RTC battery charging (unless
uboot does it).
However all the driver can do according to datasheet is configure the
charge voltage/current or disable charging completely.
Monitoring RTC battery is not possible, neither is presence detection.

So driver should just apply configuration it finds in device-tree and
eventually share that information via power supply class.

It seems to have default OCV parameters as well. With empty RTC
battery OCV values are present.
