[PATCH v4 1/2] 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.

V3 -> V4: Add a reff to uint32
V2 -> V3: Fixed the firmware property naming
V1 -> V2: As discussed with Krzysztof Kozlowski, this property is folded into
the existing raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware properties.
