Ok. I will add the property using a new DT compatibility.

"wakeup capable" and "irq-wake-enable-for-alarm-event" are different

For "irq-wake-enable-for-alarm-event", I will add a new DT compability.

However, wakeup capable notification is done in another patch using the a 
DT property "ti,wakeup_capable".

The reason for using a dt property is specified below

	rtc: omap: let device wakeup capability be configured from chip
	init logic

	The rtc-omap driver currently hardcodes the RTC wakeup
	capability to be "not capable".  While this seems to be true for
	existing OMAP1 boards which are not wired for this, the
	DA850/OMAP-L138 SoC, the RTC can always be wake up source from
	its "deep sleep" mode.


So I cannot directly add device_init_wakeup(dev, true), inside driver code.
So, I added a DT property
