It can't be determined from clocks/clock-names as of my understanding. It
depends on the type of the input clock (crystal oscillator or external
hardware device generating the clock).

This is the block diagram (see [1], only picture this time) of the module
controlling the clock. Please open it, it helps in understanding what I'll
explain above.

The VBATTB blocks controlling the VBATTBCLK are:
- 32KHz-clock oscillator
- the mux controlled by BKSCCR.SOSEL
- the gate who's input is the mux output and XOSCCR.OUTEN

To the 32 KHz-clock oscillator block could be connected:
1/ either a crystal oscillator in which case it will be connected to both
RTXIN and RTXOUT pins (the direction of RTXOUT is wrong in this picture for
this case)
2/ or a device (like [2]) generating a clock which has a single output and,
from my understanding and experience with devices like this, only RTXIN is
needed, RTXOUT is connected to the ground; for this case the 32KHz-clock
oscillator block from [1] need to be bypassed in which case the newly
introduced property will be used; this will select the XBYP on the mux.

Thank you,
