Subject: [PATCH] rtc-m41t62: kickstart ocillator upon failure

From: "A. Niyas Ahamed Mydeen" <nmydeen@...sta.com>

The ocillator on the m41t62 (and other chips of this type) needs
a kickstart upon a failure; the RTC read routine will notice the
oscillator failure and fail reads.  This is added in the RTC write
routine; this allows the system to know that the time in the RTC
is accurate.  This is following the procedure described in section
3.11 of  "https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/m41t62.pdf"
