The RTC in the JZ4770 is compatible with the JZ4760, but has an extra register that permits to configure the behaviour of the CLK32K pin. The
 same goes for the RTC in the JZ4780.

Therefore, the ingenic,jz4770-rtc and ingenic,jz4780-rtc strings do not fall back anymore to ingenic,jz4760-rtc. The ingenic,jz4780-rtc string
 now falls back to the ingenic,jz4770-rtc string.

This is a compatibility mess. There is no driver support in v6.1-rc for ingenic,jz4770-rtc, so a new DT would not work with existing kernels. It
sounds like you need 3 compatibles for 4780.

Do newer DTs need to work with older kernels? I always assumed the compatibility was only enforced for the other way around.

If that's the case though, I guess I can enforce 3 compatibles for 4780 and 2 for 4770 like you suggested.

Cheers,

Additionally, since the RTCs in the JZ4770 and JZ4780 support outputting the input oscillator's clock to the CLK32K pin, the RTC node is now also
 a clock provider on these SoCs, so a #clock-cells property is added.

v2: - add constraint on which SoCs can have the #clock-cells property
      - add JZ4780 example which has a #clock-cells
