OK, will split this patch into two in v2.

Setting those properties allows drastically reduce RTC's power
consumption at the expense of reliability and quality of service. In
my use case, DS1341 is powered by a supercap and enabling those two
setting allows to increase holdup from less than a day do 2+ weeks.

I was trying to be consistent with ds1339 and ds1390 bindings which do
not have vendor prefixes. Will fix in v2.

Thank you,
