Hi,

You can remove 'rtci-' from the subject.

The boolean properties usually don't work well for RTCs because people
usually want to keep any previous configuration that may have been done
at the factory or in the bootloader so I would use:

nxp,quartz_load_fF and this would be either 7000 or 12500.
