Code suggests that DS1339, DS1339, and DS1340 have the register.

Looking into the datasheets, the configuration consists of two parts:
- diode connected or not
- trickle charger resistor value (250, 2000, or 4000 ohm)

Given that, it seems to me that those values should be configured
explicitly instead of using a binary value, and that the driver
should perform the conversion from dt entry to register value.

Note that the relevant bits are the lower 4 bits, not the
lower 5 bits, so the above text is wrong.
