Subject: [PATCH 1/1] rtc: pcf85063: add integrity check

Sometimes when the RTC battery is inserted, the voltage will bounce a
bit and we've seen that this can randomly flip configuration bits in
the RTC.

For example, we've seen COF bits flips and then the output clock
frequency would not be the expected one anymore.

To remediate this issue, this adds an optional feature where if the OS
bit it set on boot, it's possibly because the RTC lost power and again
possibly because a new battery has been inserted. In that case, it
reapplies defaults to configuration registers.
