Hey all,
This is technically a v2 of [0], although a fair bit of time has
passed since then. In the meantime I upstreamed the dt-binding, which
was in the v1, and this patch depends on the fixes to the dt-binding
and device tree etc which landed in v5.18-rc5.

The driver is quite substantially rewritten from the v1, as you wanted
it to be switched to "binary" rather than calendar mode - so hopefully I
have satisfied your concerns with the original driver. Specifically you
had an significant issue with the counter being reset on startup & that
is no longer the case.

Thanks,
Conor.

Changes from v1:
- remove duplicate and unused defines
- remove oneline mpfs_rtc_set_prescaler function
- dont unconditionally turn off the rtc in the init function
- dont reset the rtc when init is run.
- dont disable the alarm when we boot
- use binary, not calendar mode
- delete mpfs_rtc_init & set prescale in probe
- use dev_pm_set_wake_irq rather than writing suspend/resume functions
- delete calendar mode only register defines
- since using binary mode, set range min to zero
- set range max to max alarm value (is this acceptable?)
- added a MAINTAINERS entry: when v1 was submitted there was nothing to
  add to, but there is now.
