[PATCH 5/5] RTC/i.MX/DryIce: prepare to force a security violation

In order to test the new driver we need some mechanism to force a transition
into the security violation state. Two DryIce internal timers can be used
for this purpose. Both have an overflow feature which forces this transition
and can be triggered automatically (timer) or manually (monotonic via reading
the RTC time).

Note: this change is intended for development only to test the driver's
recovery capabilities. It is useless for regular use of the DryIce unit.
