Unless we intend to remove RTC driver in it's entirety and implement RTC
time change update in secure driver, current twl rtc driver was never
meant to exist with RTC time updates only in trustzone mode. Neither does
it drop any security feature when ever Linux runs- msecure pin has not
been used for any other purpose to my knowledge with Linux. So, this
change does not change the status quo we are currently in,

That might be a better solution I agree. We might be locking down to a
specific pin name here, which could potentially change in a future SoC.
The right approach IMHO would be omap_gpio_mux equivalent.

Example change for OMAP5 purely from a board perspective(gerrit warning):
http://review.omapzoom.org/#/c/23819/5/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap5evm.c,unified

Further, depending on how it is hooked on a different board (not that I
have seen any different other than msecure), it might even be hooked on
to another GPIO, making this scenario not scaling to "theoretical board
configuration".
