Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rtc: ds1307: handle oscillator stop flag (OSF) for ds1341

In using CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS, rtc_hctosys() will sync the RTC time to the
kernel time as long as rtc_read_time() succeeds. In some power loss
situations, our supercapacitor-backed DS1342 RTC comes up with either an
unpredictable future time or the default 01/01/00 from the datasheet.
The oscillator stop flag (OSF) is set in these scenarios due to the
power loss and can be used to determine the validity of the RTC data.

This change expands the oscillator stop flag (OSF) handling that has
already been implemented for some chips to the ds1341 chip (DS1341 and
DS1342 share a datasheet). This handling manages the validity of the RTC
data in .read_time and .set_time based on the OSF.

Compile tested on rtc-next. Tested on an older kernel with ds1342 which
has the same datasheet as ds1341.
