RTC driver should not be aware of the PWR registers offset and bits
position. Furthermore, we can imagine that Disable Backup Protection (DBP)
relative register and bit mask could change depending on the SoC. So this
patch moves st,syscfg property from single pwrcfg phandle to pwrcfg
phandle/offset/mask triplet.

It's fine to add this, but you are breaking compatibility in the driver
with existing DTBs by requiring these new fields.
I'm fine with that change but I would like confirmation that this has
been well thought. Maybe Maxime or Alexandre could give their ack.
It's a good thing to remove PWR registers information from RTC driver.
My only concern was the compatibility with old DT but we can accept it.
Indeed, Kernel will continue to boot fine, only RTC will not probe if we
use old DT.
