[PATCH v14 2/3] dt-bindings: rtc: Add property for Raspberry Pi 5 RTC

The Raspberry Pi 5 has a built-in RTC that can be battery-backed
via the VBAT pin. When a rechargeable coin cell is used, the
hardware requires a trickle-charge voltage to keep the battery
topped up.
Expose the trickle-voltage-millivolt DT property so the driver can
program the correct charge voltage for board specific configurations with
the attached battery.
The property is added to the existing raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware
binding (rather than creating a new RTC node) because the RTC is
accessed exclusively through the firmware mailbox interface.
We only $ref the individual property from rtc.yaml and do not
reference the full schema, because the firmware node name does not
match the $nodename pattern required by rtc.yaml.
