Subject: [PATCH 3/4] dt-bindings: rtc: abracon,abx80x: Add xt-frequency property

Add the string property "xt-frequency" to control xtal calibration of the
RTC. This allows to improve the RTC accuracy using a Distributed Digital
Calibration function. See: ch. 5.9.1 of
AB08XX Series Ultra Low Power RTC IC User's Guide
https://abracon.com/realtimeclock/AB08XX-Application-Manual.pdf

+The RTCs support XT calibration that allows to improve the RTC accuracy.
+To perform the calibration follow the instruction:
+
+	Write the nominal XT frequency (in milliHerz) 32768000 to
+		/sys/class/rtc/your_rtc/xt-frequency
+		to ensure the calibration is not occurring.
+	Select the XT oscillator by writing by writing xtal to
+		/sys/class/rtc/your_rtc/oscillator
+	Configure the square wave SQW output by writing
+		32768_Hz to /sys/class/rtc/your_rtc/sqw
+	Measure the square wave frequency on the output pin in milliHerz.
+	Assign the measured value to the property xt-frequency.
