[PATCH] arm64: dts: meson: enable rtc node on Khadas VIM1/VIM2 boards

Enable the rtc node on VIM1/VIM2 boards so users can simply attach a power
cell and use the on-board RTC without modifying the device-tree.

Cold boot with no cell attached is gracefully handled:

VIM2:~ # dmesg | grep rtc
[    7.716150] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: no valid clock/calendar values available
[    7.716957] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: registered as rtc0
[    7.729850] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: no valid clock/calendar values available
[    7.729877] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock
[    8.126768] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: no valid clock/calendar values available

Warm boot (and any boot with cell attached) recalls stored values resulting
in consistently faster (re)boot times:

VIM2:~ # dmesg | grep rtc
[    7.441671] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: registered as rtc0
[    7.442663] rtc-hym8563 1-0051: setting system clock to 2020-11-16T05:49:59 UTC (1605505799)

This supersedes other recent attempts by Art to make the same change [0]
and [1] which were rejected for lack of justification for the change and
leaving comments behind. I have been using the same changes in my own
tree for a while.
