[ Upstream commit 7aa8781f379c32c31bd78f1408a31765b2297c43 ]
The A523's RTC block is backward compatible with the R329's, but it also
has a calibration function for its internal oscillator, which would
allow it to provide a clock rate closer to the desired 32.768 KHz. This
is useful on the Radxa Cubie A5E, which does not have an external 32.768
KHz crystal.
Add new compatible-specific data for it.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
YES
- `drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun6i-rtc.c:328-346` adds a dedicated
`sun55i_a523_rtc_ccu_data` entry and wires the
`"allwinner,sun55i-a523-rtc"` compatible to it, which is already used
by the SoC DT (`arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun55i-a523.dtsi:683`).
Without this entry the node falls back to the R329 table and leaves
`have_iosc_calibration` unset, so the SoC never enables its oscillator
calibration logic.
- The calibration flag drives the guard checks in
`ccu_iosc_recalc_rate()` and `ccu_iosc_32k_prepare()`
(`drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun6i-rtc.c:83-178`). With the flag cleared
the internal 32 kHz path keeps the default ±30 % accuracy
(`IOSC_ACCURACY`), which is a severe timekeeping bug on boards like
the Radxa Cubie A5E that ship without an external 32 kHz crystal.
- Once the new match data sets `have_iosc_calibration = true`, the probe
stores it via `have_iosc_calibration = data->have_iosc_calibration;`
in `sun6i_rtc_ccu_probe()` (`drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-
sun6i-rtc.c:352-360`), letting the prepare hook enable
`IOSC_CLK_CALI_EN` so the RTC clock actually converges to 32.768 kHz.
This directly fixes the observed drift.
- Risk is minimal: the change is limited to a new compatible entry that
reuses the existing R329 parent set and does not alter behaviour for
any other SoC. All other compatibles keep their prior data, so
regression surface is effectively isolated to hardware that already
depends on the new compatible.
