From: Miguel Borges de Freitas <miguelborgesdefreitas at gmail.com>

The pcf8523 has two configurable modes for the battery switch-over
functionality: (i) the default mode and (ii) the direct switching mode -
the driver atm only supports (i). For the default mode to work a filtering
circuit consisting of a series resistor of 1 kOhm and a capacitor of 3.3
microF must be added to the VDD pin input to guarantee a voltage drop of
less 0.7V/ms for the oscillator operation reliability (see pp.54 of the
datasheet). Some boards (e.g. the cubox-i) do not include such circuitry
and are designed to work only in direct switching mode. According to the
datasheet, this is the recommended mode for hw designs where VDD is always
expected to be higher than VBAT. After a power cycle, if the voltage drop
exceeds the said value, the REG_SECONDS_OS bit will be set (oscillator has
stopped or been interrupted) causing userspace applications such as
timedatectl and hwclock to fail (RTC_RD_TIME: Invalid argument).
Hence, This enables DSM as a device-tree configurable property so that
specific boards can make use of it. Note that, if the RTC comes from an
inconsistent state (REG_SECONDS_OS defined), the software reset will
override any power management options set during the probe phase.
Thus, pm is also enforced in pcf8523_start_rtc.
