May be I am wrong but isn't this driver used only be TI SoC (Davinci, OMAP ...)

AFAIK, all boards that use twl rtc IP by default support rtc wakeup.

However, as mentioned in the commit message not all boards that uses
OMAP rtc IP supports rtc wake up (due to somoe wiring issue).
Hence I am adding a new DT property for this.

Hmmm. Debatable. Let me get some more info about this and come back
